injury, or even just daily wear and tear. No matter the reason, understanding the root causes is your key to finding the solution. The most common causes of back pain that our physical therapists frequently treat include the following: • Muscle Strain or Ligament Sprain: Repeated heavy lifting or sudden awkward movements can strain the muscles and spinal ligaments. If you’re in poor physical condition, constant strain on your back can cause painful muscle spasms. • Bulging or Ruptured Discs: Discs, the cushioning between your bones, can bulge or herniate and press on a nerve. • Degenerative Disc Disease: As we age, the discs between the vertebrae deteriorate, which can cause pain, especially if one disc is worn down significantly.

After all, who knows your body better than you do? Together, we can work to ensure a future free of back pain.

If you’ve been troubled by that nagging back pain, we’ve got some good news for you. Sometimes, the road to recovery is as simple as strengthening your core. The term “core” refers to a group of muscles in your lower back and abdomen. These muscles are like the supporting pillars of your spine, helping you to maintain a good posture, balance, and function. Research has shown that a strong core may protect against back pain. Some of the most effective core exercises our expert physical therapists often recommend are ones you can do right at home, including: The Bird Dog This exercise helps in improving stability and balance. • Start with a hands-and-knee position, keeping your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. • Extend one arm forward and the opposite leg backward at the same time, while keeping your spine straight. • Hold the position 3-5 seconds before returning to the starting position and alternating to the other side. • Repeat for 10 repetitions. The Plank This is a great all-round exercise that engages your whole core! • Start on your hands and knees. • Extend one leg back then the other so you are in a push-up position, keeping your body straight from head to heels. • Hold this position for 10-30 seconds without letting your hips drop. • Repeat 3-5 times. Bridges Bridges are perfect for strengthening your lower back and glutes. • Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. • Lift your hips towards the ceiling, squeezing your glutes at the top. • Hold for 10-30 seconds before lowering your hips back down. • Repeat 10-20 repetitions. Not only do these exercises promise to strengthen your core, but they also can help lead to a pain-free back. Remember, consistency is the key, so make it a part of your daily routine.
