Can Physical Therapy Help My Sore Back?
Physiotherapy is a proven and effective way to resolve and prevent back pain. Back pain can occur for a variety of reasons that include traumatic injury, an improper lift, a weekend hunched over in the garden, or even an inactive lifestyle.
Proper care for your back pain will always being with a comprehensive assessment to determine why you have pain. From this assessment, an action plan will be developed to meet your specific needs. Treatment for back pain must include elements of hands on therapy and an individualized exercise program. Without these two elements, it is very difficult for back pain to resolve. As you recover, the exercise program provided should move you towards self management so that you do not become dependent on a therapist to maintain your health.
