A little prevention goes a long way. If you want to avoid future back pain, you can make sure you’re being good to your back. Lift Properly You pick things up constantly. Even if you’re lifting something light, make sure you’re facing the object. Squat, keeping your spine straight. Lift with your leg muscles, as this will reduce the pressure placed on your spine. Use Good Postur When you’re standing, imagine a string is attached to the top of your head—lifting you up. This will keep your hips, spine, shoulders, and neck aligned. If you’re sitting, don’t slouch. Use Strength Training Your body has hundreds of muscles. Thesemuscles protect and control your spine. By lifting weights, running, and swimming, you can keep them strong. Train your core muscles. In doing so, you’ll easily control quick, lifting movements. It never hurts to visit a physical therapist, either. Get regular check-ups, and make sure your body is in good condition. If you have a history of back injuries, pain, or minor aches, don’t hesitate to talk to a professional. You deserve a pain-free life, and your back will thank you.

“Dr. Esaie Aime is one of the most dedicated and compassionate physical therapist that I have ever worked with. Two years ago, he treated me after some of the nerves were injured in my right leg. I couldn’t even walk, but he kept assuring me that the nerves would be regenerated as long as I kept working hard. My dream was to jog again and during each session, he reminded me of that. After many one-on-one sessions, I’m fully recovered and jogging regularly.” - K.E. Success Spotlight
