Back pain is tricky - some people heal better with rest and ice while others prefer movement and heat. The trick is to find what best works for you, which is why I provide so many different options on this page. However, I am a firm believer that movement is medicine and can never be a bad option for your back pain. Do not listen to those who tell you to stop moving or to avoid certain movements, the key is to learn how to do those movements safely and to learn how to fix your imbalances in order to reduce future injury. #backpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpain #discherniation #physicaltherapy

It is true that strengthening your core can help cure your lower back pain, however there are hundreds of ways to strengthen your core that do not involve crunches or sit-ups. Certain core exercises place your lower back in a flexed position that for some might actually make the pain worse. It is important to first find our which position is a preferred position that helps alleviate your lower back pain and then begin to train your core through exercises that work in your preferred position #backpain #backpainrelief #lowerbackpain #lowerbackpainrelief #physicaltherapy

The pigeon pose is a great movement to lengthen the deep gluteal muscles as well as the hip extensor muscles. This can be useful in mainly “pains in the butt” such as sciatica and/or muscular strains. #piriformissyndrome #sciatica #sciaticarelief #lowerbackpain #physicaltherapy
