KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When there is pain in the back this is inflamed tissue that is reacting and changing in the same way as other tissues in your body.
- Even when the source of the irritation has been removed the tissue will continue to be inflamed and will take some time to settle down and reset.
- Work on stability and mobility to create the strongest back possible.
- You need to strengthen and work on movement in a controlled environment.
- It’s part of being human having to pick things up and you can practice a movement to develop strength.
- We rest, de-load then build movement back up again.
- Movement is key and a positive mindset will make a difference.
- Muscles need movement and bones and discs need loads.
- If something doesn’t work it just means you need a different approach and a different professional.
- Patients who are proactive in their recovery always recover better than those who are not.
- Thinking about the positives, what can you do now that you couldn’t last week? The small wins mean you are moving in a positive direction.
