Back Pain
Physiotherapy is a key treatment option for managing and alleviating back pain, which can range from mild discomfort to debilitating chronic pain. A physiotherapist assesses the underlying causes of the back pain, which might include poor posture, muscle imbalances, spinal misalignments, or injuries. Based on this assessment, they develop a personalized treatment plan that often includes a combination of exercises, manual therapy, education, and lifestyle advice.
The treatment typically focuses on strengthening the core muscles, which support the spine, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall mobility. Exercises may involve stretching tight muscles, strengthening weak ones, and correcting postural imbalances. Manual therapy techniques, such as spinal mobilization or massage, are often used to reduce pain and improve movement. Education plays a crucial role, as physiotherapists teach patients how to manage their pain, avoid triggers, and maintain a healthy posture during daily activities. Through regular physiotherapy sessions, many patients experience significant relief from back pain, leading to improved quality of life and the ability to return to normal activities.
