In their lifetime, 80% of people will find themselves facing lower back or spinal pain.
The best way to improve it is through physiotherapy. Even better is finding a clinic with a team that cares long after you leave your appointment.
Muscle People’s priority is the care and comfort of every patient from the first visit. “We are here to listen and value their feelings,” Laurie Moore, founder and physiotherapist of 30 years, says. “What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to delivering unparalleled care and exceptional results.”
Not just a team of expert physiotherapists, Muscle People offers a range of physiotherapy treatments to educate patients and prevent future and chronic issues – a duty they are dedicated to. The Dynamic Spines programme, split into two levels, teaches patients to activate and strengthen the key and supporting muscle groups in the core and back, progressing into dynamic and strength-enhancing postural and functional exercises. Online, find countless information packs catered to many conditions – these resources provide professional guidance, exercises, and knowledge to understand or prevent pain – for peace of mind outside of your physiotherapy appointments.
Restricting mobility and causing discomfort in everything from work and sports to spending time with family, lower back pain should never be neglected.
Acting on early symptoms of back or spinal pain is crucial. With expert knowledge and extensive experience, the physiotherapists at Muscle People are your go-to in assessing, diagnosing, and treating your pain. “Seeking our assistance early provides valuable education and effective manual therapy to alleviate your pain and create a comprehensive plan to prevent its recurrence.”
Don’t let lower back and spinal pain limit your life, restore your mobility and gain guidance in prevention with the team at Muscle People.
Laurie’s tips to reduce back pain:
– Avoid high heels. Wearing heels significantly increases the strain through your lower back. A slight heel of 10-20mm is recommended.
– Make a habit to walk around or stretch for a moment in between each 20-minute sitting ‘shift’. “When you sit, there is significantly more pressure placed on your lower back than when you stand tall.” Sitting for too long causes aches, pains, and stiffness.
– Motion is lotion: stay active, just a walk around the block will help maintain balance throughout your body’s systems and reduce back stiffness.
– Sit with your feet flat and a straight back, using a footstool to get the knees at a comfortable hip height if necessary.
