Back pain that feels better when you lean forward? That’s a classic sign of Spinal Stenosis. 🔍

Spinal Stenosis is the narrowing of the spaces within your spine. Think of it like a "traffic jam" for your nerves—when the space gets tight, the pressure goes up, leading to:
📍 Sharp or dull back pain
📍 Numbness or "heavy" legs
📍 Cramping when walking or standing
Physiotherapy helps you to get better and moving

DONT STAY IN BED 🛑❗️❗️
➡️It sounds counterintuitive, but "resting it off" is often the worst thing you can do for a localized back injury. While a day of rest might be needed for acute pain, prolonged bed rest can actually lead to:

✅️​Stiffening of the joints 🦴
✅️​Weakening of core support muscles 📉
✅️​Slower recovery times ⏳

​The key is movement. Whether it’s a gentle walk or specific stretches, keeping your body active helps blood flow to the area and speeds up healing.

Lower back pain is one of the most common physical ailments, affecting nearly 80% of adults at some point in their lives. While it can be incredibly frustrating, understanding the "why" and "how" is the first step toward relief.
❕️​Why Does It Happen?
​Lower back pain isn't usually caused by a single event, but rather a combination of lifestyle factors and biology. Common culprits include:
👉​Muscle Strain: Often from lifting something heavy or a sudden awkward movement.
👉​Sedentary Habits: Sitting for long periods can weaken core muscles and put excessive pressure on spinal discs.
👉​Structural Issues: This includes things like herniated discs, sciatica, or arthritis.
👉​Postural Stress: "Tech neck" and slumped shoulders shift your center of gravity, forcing the lower back to overcompensate.
❕️​Simple Ways to Find Relief
​Most lower back pain is "nonspecific," meaning it improves with movement and self-care rather than surgery.
✅️​Keep Moving: It’s a myth that you should stay in bed. Gentle walking helps maintain blood flow to the affected tissues.
✅️​Strengthen the Core: Your abs and glutes act as a natural "brace" for your spine. A stronger core equals a happier back.
✅️​Check Your Setup: If you work at a desk, ensure your monitor is at eye level and your feet are flat on the floor.
​
‼️​Pro Tip: When picking something up, "hinge" at your hips and bend your knees. Never round your spine to reach the floor!
