The Problem with Backs

Low Back Pain (LBP) is one of the most common medical problems, with some reports showing that over 70% of people will suffer from pain in this area of the body.

Back pain can develop in a series of steps that can result in a viscous cycle of pain and recurrence.

The good news is that your back pain cycle can be shifted with a series of positive steps, including strengthening, mobility and improved movement patterns.

When an unpleasant stimulus is felt, guarding responses such as anxiety, muscle tension, altered or fear of movement and even sympathetic responses such as increased heart rate, rapid breathing etc can occur. In addition to this your Brain will influence your experience of pain.

Once there is apprehension of movement and activity avoidance, there is inhibited muscle activation and de-conditioning occurs. This can make you more susceptible to recurring episodes and chronicity. Our 4 step program helps you break this cycle but only you can make a decision about getting this help.

To reduce lower back pain and help prevent it from recurring, The BACK into life classes focus on four important principles;

Flexibility and mobility,
Stability and strength training ,
Improved cardiovascular capacity and
Education to get you back to living life.

The support of our physiotherapist is an integral part of developing a positive attitude that change can be made, exercise is safe and pain does not necessarily mean injury or harm. Its not just what you gain by joining our classes, its also what you are at risk of losing if you dont.

Our 4 principle approach helps break the cycle of de-conditioning using the skills of our physiotherapists and targeted, safe and effective rehabilitation. This is not a Pilates Class.
