You're not alone! It's one of the most common reasons people seek medical help.

Here's what you need to know from your Physical Therapists:

1. ๐“œ๐“ธ๐“ฝ๐“ฒ๐“ธ๐“ท ๐“ฒ๐“ผ ๐“›๐“ธ๐“ฝ๐“ฒ๐“ธ๐“ท:
While resting might seem helpful, prolonged bed rest can actually slow your recovery! Gentle movement, like walking or specific, light stretches, is often key to easing pain and promoting healing.

2. ๐“’๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ฎ ๐“ข๐“ฝ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ฝ๐“ฑ ๐“ฒ๐“ผ ๐“’๐“ป๐“พ๐“ฌ๐“ฒ๐“ช๐“ต:
Your "core" (the muscles around your abdomen, sides, and back) acts like a natural brace for your spine. A Physical Therapist can teach you the right exercises (like the 'Pelvic Tilt') to strengthen these muscles safely.

3. ๐“˜๐“ฝ'๐“ผ ๐“œ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ฎ ๐“ฃ๐“ฑ๐“ช๐“ท ๐“™๐“พ๐“ผ๐“ฝ ๐“Ÿ๐“ช๐“ฒ๐“ท:
LBP can be complex. We look at everything from your posture and body mechanics to the way you lift, sit, and sleep. We work to find the root cause of your pain, not just treat the symptom.

4. ๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ผ๐“ธ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ต๐“ฒ๐”ƒ๐“ฎ๐“ญ ๐“ฃ๐“ป๐“ฎ๐“ช๐“ฝ๐“ถ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ ๐“ฆ๐“ธ๐“ป๐“ด๐“ผ:
There is no one-size-fits-all cure. Your PT will design a custom plan that may include targeted exercises, posture correction, and pain-relief modalities to get you back to your normal activities.

Don't let LBP limit your life! If your pain lasts more than a few days or keeps you from your daily routine, schedule a session with a Physical Therapist.
We are here to help you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.

'HEALTH IS WEALTH'

Senator Christopher โ€œB**gโ€ Go reminded the public on Monday to prioritize their well-being after undergoing an X-ray and physical therapy due to a severe back spasm.

โ€œHuwag matakot magpa-hospital. Alagaan ang kalusugan dahil ang kalusugan ay katumbas ng buhay ng bawat Pilipino,โ€ Go said.

โ€œHealth is wealth! Pangalagaan ang ating kalusugan!โ€ he added.

The senator, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, missed President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.โ€™s fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA) on Monday because of his condition. (Facebook/B**g Go)

We need to stop thinking of osteoarthritis (OA) as just a โ€œwear-and-tearโ€ disease. The science now tells a more nuanced storyโ€”one where metabolic dysfunction plays a central role. Not the only role. But an important one.

Yes, obesity increases joint load, particularly in weight-bearing joints such as the knees. In fact, for every 5-point increase in BMI, the risk of knee OA rises by 35%. But the connection doesnโ€™t stop there.

Hand osteoarthritis is also significantly more common in individuals with obesity. The hands donโ€™t bear weightโ€”so clearly, something more than load is at play.

That โ€œsomethingโ€ is a constellation of metabolic abnormalities:

-Chronic hyperglycemia
-Insulin resistance
-Dyslipidemia
-Hypertension
-Systemic inflammation

These factors fuel joint degeneration from within. Elevated glucose levels stimulate the production of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), which damage cartilage and degrade joint tissue. Insulin resistance and visceral fat contribute to chronic, low-grade inflammation, which in turn alters joint biology.

The same metabolic dysfunction that damages blood vessels, nerves, and organs also erodes joint integrity.

So no, osteoarthritis is not just a mechanical disease. Itโ€™s a metabolic one too.

The implications?
Managing OA means addressing load and biology. That includes: โ€“ Reducing visceral adiposity โ€“ Improving insulin sensitivity โ€“ Controlling inflammation โ€“ Engaging in strength training and aerobic movement โ€“ Prioritizing sleep and stress management.

OA is not always inevitable. Itโ€™s often modifiable. However, only if we understand what is driving it.
