Tackling Back Pain

Reduce/alleviate back pain with specialist exercises & guidance

Being a Personal Trainer for more than a decade, I can definitely say lower back pain and back pain in general has risen dramaticly over the last few years. So knowing this information it is vital to take steps and make changes to our daily routine to tackle back pain and irritation. Training is an integral part of any healthy regime, whether you are just using light weights, cardio or strecthes to releive your back pain.

If you want to tackle your back pain and eleviate discomfort, a tailored training programme and guidance is key.

Weight training is also vital if you are trying to improve your overall level of health.

WHAT IS LOWER BACK PAIN?

Low back pain (LBP) is pain, muscle tension or stiffness localised below the shoulder area, with or without leg pain (sciatica).

Back pain may be clearly due to an accident, injury, trauma or disease but for a significant percentage of back pain sufferers there is no specific problem, injury or disease and it is not clear what is causing the pain.

This second type of back pain is known as ‘non-specific’ low back pain (NSLBP).

IDENTIFYING BACK PAIN

Symptoms that may indicate specific LBP and lead to further investigation are:

  • Cauda equina syndrome symptoms
  • Any pain that develops and worsens over days or weeks
  • Pain in the back located behind the chest 
  • Constant pain that is not eased by lying down or rest
  • Weakness of any lower limb muscles
  • Pins and needles or numbness in any part of the bottom or leg
  • Pain that is worse at night or disturbs sleep
  • Where pain medication/steroids are ineffective

CAUSES OF BACK PAIN

The main causes of specific Back Pain fall under the general headings of:

  • Malignancy
  • Infection
  • Fracture
  • Ankylosing spondylitis, arthritis and other inflammatory disorders
  • Disc problems
  • Joint dysfunction
  • Nerve irritation/compression
  • Loss of bone density
  • Muscle or ligament strain
  • Skeletal issues
