There aren’t many things more debilitating than

There aren’t many things more debilitating than hurting your back! 😩 It’s essential to have it checked out, but here are some key DOs and DON’Ts for that early phase to get you back to living your best life without just loading up on Pain meds! 📝💊🏋️‍♀️

❌ DON’Ts ❌

AVOID MOVEMENT: 🚫 Motion is lotion! 99% of back injuries feel better when warm and moving than when cold and stiff. 🕺

OVERBRACE: 🤕 Pain naturally makes us want to tense and guard ourselves, but bracing too much through your back and “core” can compound the problem.

CATASTROPHIZE: 😱 We all fear the worst when injuries happen, but more than 90% of lower back injuries don’t have any structural damage ✨

STOP DOING MEANINGFUL ACTIVITIES: 🚫🎨 Acute pain is more likely to turn into chronic pain if it keeps you from the meaningful activities in your life, like feeling purpose at work, playing with your kids, exercising, or even bingo at the club.

PUSH THROUGH EXCESSIVE PAIN: 🚨 Think of pain as an alarm rather than a clear indicator of damage 🚨 It’s trying to tell you the system is overloaded, not necessarily broken.

✅ DOs ✅

TEST THE WATERS 🌊 Find the boundaries of your tolerable range of motion. Think SLOW AND SMOOTH 🐢

BREATHE: 😮‍💨 When you reach your limit, don’t push past it. Take a nice deep breath in and out, trying to relax into that endpoint. 🧘

LIGHTEN THE LOAD: 🏊‍♀️ Change to an easier position like bending forward while sitting or in child’s pose, get in the water (even better if it’s heated), and if able, keep doing your chosen activity but reduce the load. 🌊🏊

WARM IT UP: 🔥 Heat desensitises the area and helps you get moving, so embrace heat packs, heat creams, and hot showers.

IDENTIFY CONTRIBUTING FACTORS: 🛌🍎😌 Are you sleeping enough? Eating okay? Is there a stressor you can remove, or more likely, counteract by doing more fun, stress-relieving activities?

As always, consult us as professionals if your symptoms are severe, if you are experiencing radiating pain, pins and needles, numbness, or if the pain doesn’t improve in the next 48 hours. We are here when you need us! 😁

Nothing we love more than our patients being diligent and getting their rehab done (however that may look! )😍👀

Here is one of Tom’s patients/mates @lawrencefoteff utilising a work break and things laying around to get in his split stance RDLs - what a legend! 😎

You probably hear physios going on about ‘exercises’ like a broken record, but honestly sticking to the program is absolute key to getting the result you want from your rehab!

What’s the strangest place you have done your rehab?? 😜👇
