Lower Back and Posture Pain

kayaphysiotherapy.ukServicesLower Back and Posture Pain
Lower back and posture-related pain are among the most common musculoskeletal complaints in the UK, often resulting from modern sedentary lifestyles, repetitive strain, or improper posture. These issues can significantly impact daily activities, productivity, and overall well-being. At Kaya Physiotherapy, we provide evidence-based physiotherapy interventions tailored to address the root causes of pain and improve quality of life.

Common Causes of Lower Back and Posture Pain

Understanding the underlying causes is essential for effective treatment. Some of the most common contributors include:

Prolonged Sitting

Extended periods of sitting without proper support can lead to muscle imbalances and stiffness

Muscle Weakness or Imbalances

Insufficient strength in the core or back muscles shifts excessive strain to the lumbar region

Suboptimal Posture

Slouching or hunching places undue stress on the spine and surrounding structures.

Repetitive Movements

Activities involving frequent bending, lifting, or twisting can exacerbate lower back discomfort

Key Physiotherapy Interventions:

Hands-on techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore
function.

Training in optimal sitting, standing, and movement mechanics to minimise strain on the spine.

Customised exercise programmes to build strength in the core and back muscles.

Workplace adjustments to ensure proper alignment and reduce future strain.

Use of modalities such as dry needling, taping, or ultrasound therapy for immediate relief

When Should You Seek Physiotherapy?

It’s advisable to consult a physiotherapist if you experience:

  • Persistent or worsening pain lasting more than two weeks.
  • Pain accompanied by tingling, numbness, or weakness in the legs.
  • Difficulty performing daily activities, such as bending, standing, or walking.

Practical Advice for Managing Pain at Home

While professional intervention is key, the following self-care tips can complement your treatment plan:

Prioritise Movement

Avoid prolonged sitting by standing or stretching every 30 minutes.

Stretch Regularly

Incorporate stretches such as cat-cow or hamstring stretches to relieve tension.

Practice Core Strengthening

Exercises like planks and bird-dogs can stabilise the spine

Ensure Proper Posture

Sit with your back supported, feet flat on the ground, and shoulders relaxed.
