Back Pain: How Physiotherapy Can Help
General information about back pain and how a physiotherapist may help.
Overview
Back pain is very common and, in most cases, is not caused by anything serious. It often improves with time, movement, and appropriate guidance.
Common symptoms
People describe symptoms in different ways. Commonly reported experiences include:
- Aching or stiffness in the lower or upper back
- Pain that worsens with certain positions
- Difficulty bending or sitting for long periods
- Muscle tightness or spasm
This list is general and does not confirm any specific diagnosis.
Common causes and contributing factors
- Muscle or ligament strain
- Prolonged or awkward postures
- Sudden lifting or twisting
- Reduced activity or general deconditioning
How a physiotherapist may assess it
A physiotherapist typically listens to your history, asks about your goals, and examines movement, strength, and function to build a picture of what is contributing to your symptoms. [CLINICIAN REVIEW REQUIRED: confirm the assessment approach used at Walk Nepal for this condition]
