Tips for avoiding back pain:
Sit tall and stack your posture
Keep your ears over your shoulders and your shoulders over your hips to reduce unnecessary strain on the lower back.
Avoid the forward-head lean
Gently pull your head back so it’s aligned over your spine instead of drifting forward toward screens.
Support your lower back when sitting
Use a chair with lumbar support or place a small pillow or rolled towel behind your lower back.
Take posture breaks throughout the day
Stand up, move, or reset your posture every 30–60 minutes instead of staying in one position too long.
Keep screens at eye level
Raising your phone or monitor helps prevent neck and back compensation that can stress the lower spine.
Engage your core lightly
Think “brace, don’t stiffen” to support your spine while sitting or standing.
Struggling with back pain? You’re not alone and you don’t have to live with it.
At Summit Physical Therapy, we focus on finding the root cause of your back pain rather than just the symptoms. Whether it is coming from poor movement, muscle weakness, stiffness, or everyday strain, our therapists take a whole body approach to help you move and feel better.
Through hands-on care, targeted exercises, and movement education, we help improve mobility, build strength in the core and hips, and restore proper movement so your spine is better supported. The goal is less pain, better function, and long term relief.
If back pain is limiting your work, workouts, or daily life, Summit is here to help you get back to moving with confidence.
