What Is Low Back Pain?

Low back pain affects the area from the bottom of your ribs to your buttocks and may vary from dull aching sensations to shooting or radiating pains. In most cases, low back pain falls into one of the following categories: acute, subacute, or chronic.

Acute pain lasts for a short period, while subacute can last for several weeks or months. Chronic low back pain refers to pain that prevails for more than 12 weeks or occurs on a daily basis.

Low back pain can also be described as mechanical or radicular. Mechanical pain results from trauma to or the overuse of bones, muscles, ligaments, or joints, while radicular pain is caused by nerve damage.

How Do We Use Physio for Low Back Pain?

Physiotherapy is instrumental in treating clients with low back pain and is widely used alone or combined with other treatments to improve symptoms and rehabilitate affected areas. To increase your odds of completing a full recovery, you’ll need to start physiotherapy as soon as it’s deemed safe by your doctor.

On your first visit to Get Right Phsyio, one of our physiotherapists will carry out a wide range of relevant assessments to identify possible causes of your lower back pain, pinpoint painful areas and positions, and check for range of motion and muscle tone.

When your therapist has evaluated your presenting symptoms, this information will be used to construct a suitable treatment plan.

This programme will typically consist of low-intensity aerobic, strengthening, and stretching exercises and will also touch on lifestyle choices to consider implementing to relieve and prevent pain. We’ll also give you the chance to book your classes at your house or condo, in a hospital, long-term care facility and or a retirement home.

Your physiotherapy sessions will focus on achieving the following objectives:

Reduce and, where possible, eliminate pain in the lower back
Strengthen muscles that have become weakened
Return the affected area to full function
Maintain correct posture

Benefits of Physiotherapy for Clients With Low Back Pain

Low back pain can, in most cases, be successfully rehabilitated with physiotherapy, and there are numerous benefits to attending physiotherapy.

During physiotherapy sessions, your therapist will work with you on exercises that encourage the injury site to regain full mobility, allowing you to move freely and comfortably again. This will ensure you can continue your day-to-day tasks without giving up your independence.

Your therapist will teach you how good posture and correct lifting techniques can prevent further damage to the lower back. After you’ve completed your physiotherapy sessions, maintaining these habits will help you reduce the risk of a reoccurrence.

For many clients, physiotherapy alone is enough to ease and eventually mitigate symptoms of low back pain, meaning you won’t need to rely on medication to minimize your discomfort and pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Physical Therapy Sessions Will I Need to See Improvement With My Low Back Pain?

As is the case with many injuries, it’s challenging to determine an exact timeline for low back pain recovery, as it depends mainly on the type, severity, duration, and cause of the pain.

For many clients, the pain often subsides within 12 weeks or less, and some people even find just a few sessions are sufficient for them. If you’ve been experiencing pain for longer than 12 weeks, alternative treatments may be used in conjunction with physiotherapy, and you may require sessions for several months.

Are There Lifestyle Changes I Can Make to Prevent Low Back Pain?

Lifestyle choices can have a significant impact on your likelihood of preventing and easing low back pain. Injuries of this nature often result from everyday occurrences like sitting in a poorly designed desk chair, improper posture, and overuse of bones, muscles, and ligaments during work or sport.

Ensuring you maintain a healthy weight, eat well, exercise frequently and get ample sleep can also minimize the risk of developing low back pain.

What Are Some Physiotherapy Exercises for Low Back Pain?

A combination of aerobic, stretching, and strength-training exercises are central to managing and reducing low back pain.

There are plenty of exercises to help with low back pain, and below are a few examples:

Walking
Swimming
Wall sits
Press-up back extensions
Knee rotations

Is It Safe to Exercise With Low Back Pain?

Although you might think resting your back is the best way to allow low back pain to ease, keeping active helps the area stay mobile, improve strength, and maintain flexibility when done so with caution. You should consider aerobic exercise, which can also stimulate blood flow and speed up the healing process.

While it’s generally safe to complete gentle exercises with low back pain, it’s vital you consult your physiotherapist first, as they can guide you on the most useful and appropriate movements.

"I had the pleasure of receiving physiotherapy services from Sajicca and I cannot praise her enough. She visited me twice a month, always  arriving with her mobile treatment bed, a warm smile and a genuine kindness. She massaged my leg with oil, taught me exercises patiently, and encouraged me every step of the way. Her professionalism, compassion and dedication made a huge difference in my recovery. She is truly caring young lady and I am grateful for her support.  During Sajicca's absence,   Betsy, an another young lady performed an excellent service as well. I highly recommend Get Right Physio services for anyone looking for a therapist who goes above and beyond."

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am very grateful to Zarana Dobariya
PT ,for all the care and support she has given me throughout my recovery. I had a complex pelvic fracture and was unable to walk when I started physiotherapy. With Zarana’s treatment, encouragement, and guidance, I have become much stronger and am now walking and moving so much better.

Zarana is very kind, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. She always listens to my concerns and makes me feel comfortable and supported during my sessions. I truly appreciate everything she has done to help me regain my strength and confidence. I would highly recommend Zarana to anyone looking for a caring and dedicated physiotherapist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had an excellent in-home treatment experience with my physiotherapist Tarun. I had severe pain in my left knee which was the cause of scar tissue formation after my TKR. I had a knee scopy to remove the scar tissue. Tarun was very professional, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring throughout my in-home treatment. She took the time to understand my concerns, explained everything clearly, and tailored the treatment to my specific needs.

In a couple of weeks I started noticing improvements in my pain level, mobility and overall condition, and I always felt comfortable and well taken care of during my sessions. Her dedication and positive attitude made a big difference in my recovery.

I would highly recommend "Get Right Physio"  and Tarun to anyone looking for an experienced, compassionate, and effective physiotherapist. Thank you for all your help and support Tarun!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My Therapist Zeel is great, she was always on time, reviewed what we did the week before, and work on new exercises for the next week.  Zeel is  very respectful, and helpful and always remind you to practice the exercises you learn that week.  Looking forward to working with her again.
