Back Pain

Physiotherapy and advice on back care may help during recovery period. Many may sit too long placing pressure on the spine that may further aggravate back pain. Gentle diaphragmatic breathing techniques are taught to help with relaxing muscles around the ribcage that may tighten and further contribute to perpetuating back pain.

It is important to also teach self-management skills such that patient education and assistance with correction of dysfunctional movement patterns with exercises should also be considered.
