HOW LOWER BACK PAIN AND NECK PAIN ARE CONNECTED
Continued from previous page.
CHIN TUCK WALL Stand against a wall with a small rolled up towel in the small curve of your neck, slowly draw chin towards your chest. Slowly draw your head back so that your ears line up with your shoulders. Hold for 10 seconds and repeat 3 times. EXERCISE ESSENTIALS Visit a physiotherapist at Amped Physiotherapy for a comprehensive assessment and learn what steps you can take to alleviate your pain and prevent further episodes. If you are experiencing lower back pain or neck pain, give us a call today! Limit Sitting For Too Long — Prolonged sitting is not suitable for your back or your overall health. Although adjusting your posture while sitting can be helpful, a more practical option is to stand up periodically throughout the day. Limit your sitting to 30-45 minutes at a time. The results will be noticeable! Use Good Posture — Our spine is designed to move, which means our posture should also move. The spine does not like to remain in one position for extended periods, but when you need to sit or stand for long periods, find a “good” posture. For example, imagine your breast bone is lifted towards the sky, causing your spine to straighten out — lifting you up — keeping your hips, spine, shoulders, and neck aligned. Learning to care for your spine will minimize the pain and dysfunction that comes from neglect.
When you have limited motion in your neck, your body compensates by twisting more than it usually would allow you to complete the task. Our spine requires the coordination of the entire spine; otherwise, movements can cause pain or limitations that impair your ability to complete the activity. If you are experiencing neck pain, back pain, or a combination of both, our physiotherapists would be more than happy to meet with you for a consultation to discuss how they can help. How Physiotherapy Can Help Physiotherapists are trained to evaluate muscle and joint movement, and they can quickly assist you in finding the root of your problem. Our physiotherapists will thoroughly evaluate you, determine why you are experiencing pain, and treat all affected areas. After your initial consultation, we will create a specialized treatment plan based on your specific needs. At Amped Physiotherapy, our physiotherapist’s end goal is the same as yours — to get you feeling better! What To Expect In Physiotherapy After performing a thorough assessment and treatment plan, our therapist will teach you strategies to avoid future problems by focusing on strategies for spine health.
