🤣🤣 …. All jokes aside, here’s a true tip for your Thursday…
Do you experience back pain with daily demands? (Bending, lifting, standing, walking, rolling over in bed, etc?) One simple way to begin to control your symptoms is by activating your core (tighten your belly muscles, but don’t hold your breath!) BEFORE the movement and MAINTAINING the core engagement during the activity.
Core strength is foundational. Just as building your house on a solid foundation is very important, so is having a strong and stable core. The core (abdominal and back musculature) is quite literally the center of your body and pain and/or dysfunction of the core can create a chain reaction of pain and dysfunction in the upper and/or lower body as well.
*Modifications to your daily demands are most likely warranted in addition to proper core stabilization training! Our therapists are trained to assess your daily activity and suggest modifications as appropriate. Our knowledgeable therapists can also guide you on appropriate progression of foundational core strength as well for long term pain control!
