Our senior Physiotherapist, Tom, recently completed training in the GLA:D Back program, a treatment option for people with long-term or recurrent low back pain.
The program combines both education and exercise to improve spinal function, reduce pain, and boost movement confidence. The program's purpose is to provide patients with the knowledge and tools to help them reduce their back pain and to better manage the pain that is present.
The foundation of this program is several key principles of managing and understanding low back pain.
This week is key principle number 3: Exercise is GOOD for the back
🔹Physical activity nurtures a healthy back
🔹Regular movement makes the back more flexible, strong and resilient
🔹In addition to its positive effect on the back, exercise has many other benefits such as improving mood and cardiovascular health.
🔹Exercise is a great tool for self-managing low back pain
