5 favourite things the spine loves…. You should listen and take some notes!

04/02/2026

💙 Physiotherapy for back pain improves movement and reduces discomfort by using a combination of manual therapy, tailored exercises, and posture correction.

💙 It strengthens core muscles to reduce spinal strain, eases pain via techniques like massage or acupuncture, and provides education on ergonomics to prevent future injuries.

💙Key Ways Physiotherapy Helps Back Pain:
🔹Pain Management: Techniques such as spinal manipulation, mobilization, massage, or acupuncture are used to reduce muscle tension and relieve stiffness.
🔹Targeted Exercises: A tailored program improves flexibility and strengthens the core and back muscles, which reduces strain on the spine and improves overall stability.
🔹Improved Function & Mobility: Physiotherapists work to restore normal, pain-free movement to joints and muscles.
🔹Posture Correction & Ergonomics: Advice on proper posture and body mechanics helps manage daily activities, reducing pressure on the back when sitting, standing, or lifting.
🔹Education and Prevention: Advice on lifestyle adjustments helps prevent future flare-ups and provides long-term management strategies.
