Physiometrics - Physiotherapy Clinic

Low back pain can make you hesitant to bend, walk, exercise or even continue your normal daily activities. While temporarily modifying activities that significantly aggravate symptoms may be appropriate, prolonged bed rest is generally not the goal for most uncomplicated episodes of low back pain. Depending on your assessment and symptoms, physiotherapy may involve: • Gradually restoring comfortable movement • Building trunk and lower-body strength • Improving tolerance to bending, lifting and other daily activities • Modifying activities when necessary rather than completely avoiding them • Progressively returning to work, exercise and recreation There isn't one exercise programme that is appropriate for every person with low back pain. Your symptoms, physical findings, activity demands and goals should guide rehabilitation. If your back pain is persistent, recurring or limiting your everyday activities, a physiotherapy assessment can help determine an appropriate rehabilitation plan.
