At some point of our lives the vastmajority of us will have experienced low back pain.
For many years low back pain was thought to result primarily from structural disorders, such as disc herniation. While disc pathology does exist in some cases, many low back pain conditions do not involve disc herniation.
A large percentage of low back pain complaints involve strains to muscles,ligaments and tendons which can cause restrictions in movment in the lumbar spine, causing pain and discomfort.
Several factors contribute to low back pain such as poor posture,
Incorrect lifting techniques,
Sitting for long periods eg driving.
If you have or are suffering from this condition you may have experienced difficulty getting out of bed in the morning, or getting out of your car.
Standing for long periods, it can also affect your sleep at night.
There is no need to continue suffering with low back pain, I can help reduce your discomfort using specialized soft tissue massage therapy.
A large percentage of low back pain conditions can be resolved with conservative treatments such as massage because muscles are a primary source of pain
In my treatments I will focus on reducing muscle tautness and I will reduce any strains in the ligaments/tendons in the lower back.
I will give you stretches to do daily to help to reduce any remaining discomfort in the area
When the condition has been successfully treated and the client feels no pain I always recommend that the client starts to develope a strong core, by doing specific strengthing exercises focusing on the abdominal muscles.
Having a strong core greatly helps reduce pressure on the back muscles when for example lifting, helping prevent future injury to the area.
I strongly recommend clients doing pilates to help build strong core muscles.
Pilates classes are an excellent way to improve physical strength ,flexibility and posture.
We are really blessed to have two excellent pilates instructors working in our county
