Lower Back Pain?

The most common complaint I help people with, by far, is lower back pain. 

It’s a complication of surgery that’s too often written off as “just age” or “part of life.”

How do you know if you should do something about your lower back pain?

If it…

• keeps you from exercising or limits your exercise choices.

• interferes with your health and fitness goals, like losing weight or improving your health markers.

• It happens when you stand still for less than an hour or walk for less than 2 hours.

• Disrupts your sleep or keeps you from falling asleep.

• Limits your positions, like keeping you from lying on your stomach or flat on your back.

• It hurts when you roll over or change positions from sitting to standing or lying down to sitting up.

These are common complaints I hear, and they are all signs that you can do something about your back pain.

Fixing back pain starts by assessing a few key areas:

• Abdominal strength, activation patterns, and endurance

• Breathing patterns

• Scar mobility from any abdominal surgeries

• Spine movement

• Hip movement

• Pelvic floor awareness

• Tension-holding patterns

• Overall strength, especially of the lower body

Once we put pieces together of how your body is functioning and moving in space, we can figure out what’s contributing to the back pain and come up with a plan to address it. but everyone’s plan will look different.

I work exclusively with people who have had pelvic and abdominal surgeries. Often, understanding the impacts of surgery on the body is key to solving low back pain that hasn’t been addressed by traditional methods.
