How to Prevent Pain in the Lower Back From Squats

Lower back pain after squats can make you feel like you’ve been hit by a truck. Squats are a fundamental movement, but they require coordination of multiple muscles and joints. When your core is weak or you lack stability, your lower back compensates, resulting in strain. Poor alignment, excessive weight and limited mobility also contribute to discomfort. Recognising these factors is the first step to addressing them.

Chronic pain is pain that persists for at least three months. It may arise from arthritis, nerve damage, old injuries, muscle imbalances or conditions such as fibromyalgia. Unlike acute pain, chronic pain can continue even after tissues have healed. Physiotherapists identify the underlying causes of your pain and design a plan to improve your movement, strengthen weak muscles and calm an over‑sensitive nervous system. Techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft‑tissue massage, dry needling and targeted exercises help to ease pain and improve function.
