Understanding Chronic Lower Back Pain
Chronic lower back pain (LBP) is defined as pain lasting more than 12 weeks. It affects athletes, office workers, and active adults in Rydalmere, Parramatta, and surrounding suburbs. Unlike acute pain, chronic LBP often develops gradually and may be influenced by posture, muscle imbalances, or previous injuries.
Key Management Strategies
1. Exercise-Based Rehab
Maintaining strength and mobility is essential for chronic LBP. Our physiotherapists focus on:
-
Functional exercises to support daily life and sports performance
-
Gradual progression to avoid flare-ups
2. Manual Therapy
Hands-on techniques, including soft tissue work and joint mobilisations, help relieve tension, restore movement, and support rehabilitation.
3. Posture and Ergonomics
Chronic pain is often worsened by poor posture at work or during sport. Education on proper lifting, sitting, and training techniques is key to long-term relief.
4. Recovery and Lifestyle Adjustments
-
Regular movement and stretching
-
Infrared sauna sessions to support muscle recovery
-
Stress management and sleep optimisation
