๐Ÿ’ฅItโ€™s National Physiotherapy Back week๐Ÿ’ฅ

The focus this year is on getting your body moving โ˜๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ

Our bodies were designed to move... so get out there and do some exercise ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
Take short break in the day to move around, do a short workout in your lunch break ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ,
go for a walk๐Ÿšถ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Whatever it is... move that body ๐Ÿ‘ฃ

An active body is much less susceptible to back and neck aches and pains ๐Ÿ‘€
Your muscles need to be conditioned in order to do their job properly ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ
Particularly if you work at a desk, your body needs to be strong ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿ˜Ž

๐Ÿค“ Interesting article on the link between โ€˜badโ€™ posture and back pain... ๐Ÿค”

โญ๏ธThereโ€™s is NO research to support this claim ๐Ÿคจ

๐ŸŒž It is, however, important to be weary of good form/alignment and proper biomechanics during exercise ๐Ÿง˜๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ as this is when there is much more stress placed on the structures ๐Ÿ’ฅ

๐ŸŒธDonโ€™t misinterpret the results;
Itโ€™s good to be aware of how you sit or stand but this is not the CAUSE of back pain.

Be sure to keep changing your sitting posture (if itโ€™s for an extended period of time) so that different structures are stressed in different ways;
๐Ÿ’ฅitโ€™s more the length of time that you sit for, and NOT the way in which you sit; which causes pain ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿผโš ๏ธ

The idea that posture causes pain has intuitive appeal, and is advocated by numerous experts. But is it supported by evidence? And should you spend time trying to analyze your own posture and correct deviations from what is considered optimal?

Donโ€™t be too quick to jump on the theatre table ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿ‘ฉ๐Ÿผโ€โš•๏ธ

Conservative treatment can be as effective as surgery, with fewer complications ๐Ÿค™๐Ÿผ

Bear in mind that the pain can take some time to subside (usually a few weeks) so it depends on whether or not you can tolerate the pain ๐Ÿค”

If there is muscle weakness as a result of the back injury; then surgery is 100% indicated ๐Ÿค“
