Had a scan for your back?
Scans can be helpful in some cases, but they can also make you more aware — and sometimes more worried — about normal changes in the spine.
When the back starts to feel fragile, people often move less, guard more, and lose confidence… which can actually slow recovery.
For most common back pain, getting the right advice, movement, and rehab is often more helpful than focusing on scan results alone.
MRIs have their place, but they’re not always the first step.
A good physio assessment can guide you on what your back really needs.
📍General advice only — speak to a healthcare professional if you’re concerned.
