What Is Low Back Pain?
Acute back pain and chronic back pain, sometimes referred as non-specific back pain, is currently a pandemic and has huge physical, emotional, and economic costs on a global scale [1]. Costing the healthcare industry billions annually, and is the number one cause of sick days at the workplace [2].
Lower back pain is, unfortunately, something that many adults are burdened with. Low back pain impacts how we live our lives. It stops us from doing the things we love, it affects our sleep and working lives.
Back Pain Symptoms
Back pain symptoms can vary from one or both sides, or the centre of the lower back. Lower back pain can be a constant dull ache or a sharp shooting pain, often coupled with leg/buttock pain, lower back stiffness, or hip pain. Lower back pain often occurs in episodes or flare-ups – sometimes seemingly for no good reason. It can occur when simply going upstairs or bending down to pick something up off the floor.
What Causes It
Low back pain is multi-factorial, often caused by many, many different things, including, injuries or trauma, a fall, road traffic accident, or sports injury. Another common cause of low back pain is poor posture. Poor posture puts additional strain or pressure on joints of the lower back. Our team specialises in posture, spinal health, and spinal alignment. We design therapy plans to help you improve how you function, how you sit, stand, and sleep.

Intrinsic Core Strengthening For Back Pain
Most people do not use their core muscles correctly or at all. Utilising our core correctly has so many long-term health benefits. Our strong core muscles can take a lot of the stress and demands put on our bodies. But for most people, the muscles can surround our joints and the somewhat vulnerable structures of our joints (such as the cartilage, ligaments, or bursae take all the load.
For prevention of injury and pain, for optimal functioning, and to truly function to bodies true potential, it is important to not only to do regular back exercises, but also to use our core muscles!
Intrinsic core strengthening will activate your core muscles and help offload the demands and stress put on your joints.
