Acute Low Back Pain
It is thought that almost everyone will experience at least one episode of acute low back pain at some point in his or her life. While this acute low back pain can be extremely painful, many episodes of lower back pain will resolve within 2-3 days, but deficits in the muscles in your back may still remain.
Recurrence rates, however, have been found to be staggeringly high with 60-96% of sufferers having another episode of low back pain.
Specific exercises targeting the deep muscles that support your back have been shown to significantly decrease these recurrent episodes. Many forms of exercise including aerobic exercise or specific exercises to target deep muscles of the back can be effective in reducing recurrences of low back pain.
Our physiotherapist will advise you on the best form of exercise for your back. You can contact us here for more advice.
