We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about getting moving.
Number 10 is protect and guard.
Following on from yesterday's neutral pelvis when people are in pain they start to protect their injury or guard it to stop it being painful. As pain decreases it is important to start moving your body with confidence but within a pain-free range.
The more you do this the more the brain recognises there isn't a threat so you can move more freely.

We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about getting moving.
As people struggle with back pain they often change their posture and how they hold their body. From a pilates perspective, we often talk about a neutral pelvis. This is where we aren't tilting the pelvis too far forward or backwards.
As pain decreases and you can move more it is important to start re-finding the neutral pelvis for a healthy spine and good movement.

When people are in pain they often stop moving as much as they used to. It is quite important to start doing gentle movements that don't aggravate your pain and start to ease it.
Gently increase how much you can do so that you can progress back to the things you used to do.

We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about sleep position.
When people have back pain it can be really difficult to find a comfortable position and also when they get out of bed they feel really stiff and creaky.
We recommend trying a pillow between the knees if you side sleep or under the knees if you lie on your back.
Before you get out of bed in the morning also do some gentle stretches without pain so you can move better when you are up and about.

We are sharing the top 10 mistakes people with tend to make - today we are talking about posture - having a good posture is so important if you get back pain, aches or general stiffness.
It is so easy when we are tired or busy to forget about our posture.
So do you sit cross-legged?
How do you sit in a chair for work?
How do you sit in the evenings when you get home?
If you have back pain it is probably time to make some changes to how you sit so that it reduces your aches and pains.
It takes persistence but it is so worth it.

We are sharing our top 10 mistakes we often find people make with back pain.
Today we are talking medication - do you try and avoid it?
Most people we see try and avoid it but sometimes it is necessary initially to reduce pain and start to get you moving. Then when you are moving more you can reduce the medication and try other ways to manage any aches or pain you might be experiencing.

Are these top 10 mistakes with helping?
Let us know below with a comment.
Today we are talking about the next common mistake people make who have back pain.... Today is all about trying lots of things but not really sure what has helped or not.
We often see people who have been struggling for a while and seem to have tried lots of different things but if you aren't following a plan or have a consistent approach how will you know what is and what isn't working?
Remember to keep it simple and try 1 thing at a time to test if it is helping.

We thought we would share what we think are the top 10 mistakes people make with back pain - so today's mistake is that people don't get their problem assessed.
Are you putting up with something, do you just think it is old age or just back pain and need to put up with it?
How do you know if someone hasn't assessed it and told you what the problem is? Have you googled it?!
Often people who have been to see someone are told that they need to lose weight and move more but we know this is difficult when you are in pain.
We recommend that you get it assessed, get a treatment plan to reduce the pain and get you moving easily with support.
Then when the pain is reduced you can really concentrate on losing weight and feeling fitter and healthier.

Every day this week we are doing a post with the top 10 mistakes people make with back pain!
So number 2 - not listening to your body... are you guilty of this?
Following on from yesterday do you ignore the warning signs your body is giving you? Do you ignore aches, twinges, catches or stiffness?
What if you listened to it and did something about it before it became a pain or really restricting?
Do you need to listen to what your body is trying to tell you right now?

We are going to share with you our top 10 mistakes people make with back pain
Number 1 - they wait to get help - have you been guilty of this in the past? Comment below
People often say to us "Oh I thought it would get better on its own...." or "It started with just a twinge... and I ignored it and now....!"
Unfortunately, hindsight is a wonderful thing but just so you know if you get help when it is just a twinge or ache, you will have fewer aches and pains but also be able to get better quicker.
