HOWCAN PHYSICAL THERAPY HELP?
Physical therapy is a great resource for lower back pain because it addresses the cause of the pain, rather than simply attempting to hide the symptoms. Working with a physical therapist can help improve your range of motion, restore strength to the muscles in your lower back that may have weakened from lack of use, and reduce the tension in your lower back muscles through targeted manual therapy techniques. When working with a physical therapist, you may also be guided through different lifestyle changes that you can make, in order to overcome back pain with everyday activities. These may include: • Making changes to the type of shoes that you wear so your back is getting more support with each step. Sometimes, using special insoles can significantly improve your back pain. • Adjusting your sleeping habits, or perhaps investing in a new mattress so your back has more support at night. • Using more lumbar support at work or on your commute by using a special chair or chair cover. Low back pain can pose limitations to your daily life, but you don’t need to live with those limitations any longer!
