WHAT CAN PHYSIOTHERAPY DO FOR ME?
Physiotherapy is a great way to regain normal posture. Our physiotherapists are experts in movement, and they are great resources to have when trying to achieve your physical performance goals. They will aid you in the improvement of your balance, stability, flexibility, and mobility, all of which will positively affect your posture. At your initial evaluation, your physiotherapist will perform functional testing in order to identify which weakened areas of your body are causing your back pain. Afterward, they will create a customized treatment plan, tailored to your specific needs. Treatment plans typically include manual therapy and targeted exercises to alleviate pain and regain proper function. In fact, in a study published by the National Institutes of Health, exercise for postural improvement was proven to be successful, both in enhancing posture and improving pain among patients. Titled, “Effect of an exercise program for posture correction on musculoskeletal pain,” this study followed 88 patients through their exercise program. By simply incorporating 20 exercise sessions into their daily schedule 3 times a week for 8 weeks, these
patients reported “lower [pain levels] after the exercise program than before the program, and significant differences in pain levels were noted in the shoulders, middle back, and lower back.” Results also concluded significant improvement in posture, especially during sedentary work. In addition to manual therapy and exercise sessions, other treatments and modalities may be added to your treatment plan as your physiotherapist deems fit. This will all focus on improving your posture, increasing strength, and (most importantly) relieving pain. How can I get started? If you are experiencing back pain, your posture may be to blame. Fortunately, SOS Physiotherapy is ready to help you begin your journey toward long-lasting pain relief. Find out for yourself why physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to address your posture issues and corresponding back pain, so you can start on the road to recovery.
