Low Back Pain - Treat it Early!
Studies show early referral to physical therapy for low back pain (less than 4 weeks from the time of onset!!) reduce the likelihood of chronic pain, physician visits, injections, and time away from work! If you’re having low back pain, try this simple exercise above to help calm it down a little bit. Why?
🤸♂️ Repetitive motion via exercise helps improve blood flow to the muscles. This allows muscle spasms to relax and enables more motion.
🏃🏻♂️ Repetitive motion can increase disc water content and may reduce swelling that is potentially around the nerve root.
🚴🏻♀️ Exercise helps decrease fear of movement, which allows muscles to relax to promote improved spinal mobility.
