At Total Performance, we want to make sure that our patients going back to school don’t develop back pain at the beginning of the new school year. To learn more about how physical therapy can help you fight lower back pain as you go back to school, contact us today! How can I avoid back pain? 1. Ergonomics There are several ergonomic changes you can make in order to prevent back pain from developing. Seat cushions can help you sit up straighter, setting up your monitor to meet your eye line can prevent straining or slouching, and investing in a standing or adjustable desk can prevent unnecessary strain on your lower back. Schedule a consultation with a PT to discover what ergonomic changes might work best for you! 2. Exercise/Posture This may seem counterintuitive, but exercise can actually aid in back pain relief and prevention! When you are
staying active and engaging your core, you are better able to complete the physical demands of the day without noticing pain. Additionally, making sure you are practicing proper posture throughout the school day and during your workout routines can help in preventing unnecessary weight from being placed on your back and avoiding unwanted aches and pains. Your physical therapist can help you identify proper posture and discover the best exercise plan for your needs! 3. Physical therapy! Need additional assistance? Our physical therapists have got you covered! Fight lower back pain at the beginning of this new school year by getting professional help from our movement experts! Don’t wait!
