Back Pain

Back Pain: What’s the Problem?

Back pain can be a major hurdle, making daily tasks like sitting, bending, or moving a challenge. Your back, a complex structure of muscles, vertebrae, and nerves, supports your body but can easily become strained or injured.

What Causes Back Pain?

Back pain can arise from poor posture, heavy lifting, or sudden twists. Common issues include muscle strains, herniated discs, sciatica, or spinal misalignments. Sedentary lifestyles, weak core muscles, or stress can aggravate the problem.

How Sports Massage, Dry Needling, and Remedial Therapists Can Help

Isy, our experienced therapist, guides our approach to back pain relief. Using sports massage and dry needling, she targets trigger points, reduces muscle tension, eases inflammation, and boosts blood flow to promote healing. After assessing your posture and movement, we create a tailored plan with massage, dry needling, stretches, or strengthening exercises to relieve pain and prevent recurrence.

Tips to Keep Back Pain at Bay

Isy shares effective strategies to avoid back pain. Simple habits like maintaining proper posture, strengthening core muscles, or using ergonomic setups can make a big difference – we’ve even written a blog about it! We may also recommend regular sessions to maintain flexibility and catch minor issues early.
