Let’s talk low back pain, and why your pain might not actually mean injury!

24/11/2025

Doing this one thing might be making your osteoarthritis worse!

Many people hear that osteoarthritis is caused by “wear and tear” to their joints, and while this simplification isn’t necessarily incorrect - it does lead a lot of people to believe that they now need to ease up on their exercise load to prevent further wear. Unfortunately, this is probably the worst thing you could do!

A properly structured exercise program for osteoarthritis can build strength in the joint’s supporting muscles, taking pressure off the joint, while also increasing blood flow and reducing stiffness.

Not sure where to start in your rehabilitation journey, send me a message and we can arrange a time to chat about your specific situation!

On this episode of Myth Busters were tackling everyone’s (least) favourite overuse injury: TENDONITIS! More commonly referred to these days as tendinopathy, a more comprehensive term for tendon related problems. How many of these myths did you believe?

Pain on the soles of your feet when walking, running or standing? Plantar fasciitis could be the culprit. Lots of the recommendations out there suggest rest or stretching to help ease pain, but there’s more to fixing it for good!

Is exercise really even effective in helping lower back pain? 🤔

Specialised core strength focused exercise programs have been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms in people living with chronic lower back pain.

The clinical trial referenced in this graphic demonstrated a 46% reduction in the perception of pain following a 6 week core focused exercise program. Exercises in this program addressed common areas of weakness including the pelvic floor and other abdominal muscles.

Talking with an exercise rehabilitation professional is a great first step in the journey to fixing your lower back! 🏃‍♀️‍➡️

Feel like something is holding you back? 🤔

There are many different causes for chronic lower back pain, but up to 90% of cases are considered "non-specific" meaning there is no underlying disease or condition causing the pain!

In these cases, the pain is linked to excessive mechanical stress on the body's soft tissues, including muscles, tendons and ligaments. 😣

Non-specific lower back pain has been linked to the following risk factors:

1. Sitting for long periods 💻

While sitting may seem like a low impact activity, sitting actually exposes our spine to prolonged flexion forces which can overload the tissues at the rear of our vertebrae.

2. Inactive lifestyle 🛋

Movement promotes muscle contraction and the movement of blood throughout the body. Both of these are important factors in keeping our soft tissues strong, mobile and resilient.

3. Heavy manual labour 👷‍♂️

Heavy strenuous lifting, particularly associated with an individual's work, may expose the spine to excessive loads which can cause fatigue and stress in the lower back.

4. Weakness in the lower back and abdominal muscles 🏋️‍♀️

Our abdominal and lower back muscles are there to brace our spine and keep it protected from excessive forces and loads. Without the proper strength in these muscles, these forces act directly on the soft tissues of the lower back.

So what can we do about these risk factors?

If you find yourself sitting often throughout the day, it is recommended to stand up regularly (at least once per hour) and go for a quick walk around or even a stretch.

Engaging in regular physical activity can promote proper functioning of the lower back and surrounding muscles. It is recommended that adults engage in at least 2.5 hours of physical activity each week.

An individualised exercise program designed by an exercise professional can help you address any concerns in the health of your lower back. Strengthening areas like your abdominals, glutes, core muscles and hips are all essential components to a quality exercise program for lower back pain!
