5 Myths about Lower Back Pain
BeachLife Physiotherapy • Jul 20, 2023
Here are some common myths surrounding lower back pain:
ο»Ώ
Lower back pain is a prevalent condition and there are several myths and misconceptions associated with it.
Myth 1: Rest is the best treatment for lower back pain
While it's important to avoid activities that exacerbate the pain in the acute phase, prolonged rest and inactivity can actually hinder recovery. Gentle movement, exercises and staying active within your pain tolerance are generally recommended for managing lower back pain.
Myth 2: Lower back pain is always caused by a serious structural problem
Most cases of lower back pain are not caused by a serious underlying structural issue, such as a herniated disc or spinal fracture. The majority of lower back pain is due to muscle strains, sprains, or overuse injuries. However, it's essential to have a proper evaluation by a healthcare professional to determine the specific cause of your pain.
Myth 3: Imaging tests always reveal the cause of lower back pain
While imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs can be helpful in certain cases, they do not always provide a definitive explanation for lower back pain. Many people without symptoms also have structural abnormalities in their spines. Therefore, imaging is usually reserved for cases where there are specific indications based on the clinical evaluation.
Myth 4: Surgery is the only solution for lower back pain
Surgery is rarely the first-line treatment for lower back pain. Most cases can be effectively managed with conservative treatments such as physical therapy, exercise, pain medication, and lifestyle modifications. Surgery is typically reserved for individuals with severe and specific conditions that have not responded to conservative treatments.
Myth 5: Exercise will make lower back pain worse
On the contrary, appropriate exercise and physical activity can actually help alleviate lower back pain. Strengthening the muscles supporting the spine, improving flexibility, and maintaining a healthy weight can help prevent and manage lower back pain.
Remember, it's crucial to consult with our health professionals for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management of lower back pain.
We can help debunk myths, provide evidence-based advice and guide you toward the most effective treatment options for your back problems.
Tendinopathy is one of the most common types of problems physio’s treat. But it can be very confusing to wrap your head around. Here’s a quick overview! ο»Ώ

π Pain Doesn't Equal Gain in Remedial Massage! π A successful remedial massage focuses on alleviating discomfort and tension without causing pain, promoting relaxation and facilitating the body's natural healing processes. A painful remedial massage is counterintuitive, as the goal is to alleviate discomfort, not exacerbate it. Let's debunk this misconception once and for all! Pain is not a prerequisite for progress. In fact, forcing through discomfort during a massage can often do more harm than good. Our bodies respond best to gentle, targeted pressure that encourages relaxation and improves circulation. When pain is present, it's a sign that the body is resisting, which can lead to increased tension and potential injury. Effective massage therapy focuses on communication between therapist and client. It's about understanding your body's limits and working within them to promote healing and relieve stress. The skilled massage therapists here at BeachLife Physio will adjust pressure and technique based on your feedback, ensuring a comfortable and effective experience.

Physiotherapy for Prolapse Management! Prolapse, a common issue for many women, involves pelvic organs descending from their normal positions, causing discomfort. Physiotherapy offers effective solutions: Understanding Prolapse: Pelvic organs descend due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues, often from factors like childbirth or ageing. Identifying Symptoms: Symptoms include pelvic pressure, noticeable bulges, discomfort during intercourse, incontinence, and difficulty emptying bladder or bowel. How Physiotherapy Helps: - Pelvic Floor Muscle Training: Personalised exercises, like Kegels, strengthen muscles, reducing prolapse severity. - Education and Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on lifting techniques, posture correction, weight management, and preventing exacerbating factors. - Manual Therapy Techniques: Hands-on approaches like soft tissue mobilisation and myofascial release improve muscle function and alleviate discomfort. With physiotherapy support, women can find relief and regain control over their pelvic health. Seek guidance from our qualified physiotherapists specialising in women's health for comfort and confidence. Book in with our amazing women health physios today here at BeachLife Physio!Button -

Blood flow restriction training has some amazing benefits in an injury or post surgery rehab setting. It mimics high intensity exercise while working with lighter loads. When pain, injury or post surgery restrictions force you to work with lighter loads BFR training can help you to maintain your strength and muscle mass while minimising the risk of injury. If you aren’t injured then you’re still far better off working with heavier loads. But sometimes that’s just not on the cards for you!Button -

The cross-education effect is a phenomenon whereby training one side of the body results in increased strength of the OPPOSITE side of the body. That’s right, train the left limb and get some strength gains in the right. More importantly, in a rehab setting you can minimise strength loss and muscle wasting of your injured side by continuing to train the other. In a study by Farthing et al. they casted one arm of the participants and split them randomly into either a group that performed resistance training of the opposite arm, or a group that performed no resistance training. Once the cast was removed, muscle strength changes were tested. There was a 14.7% decrease in strength of the casted arm of the group who received no training, but NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE in the strength of the casted arm in the trained group, those who received training on the opposite side. The cross-education effect is driven by your nervous system, and to increase the neural drive enough to benefit from this effect you’ve got to keep exercise intensity high - heavier weights, fewer reps. #physio #rehab #beachlife #injuryrecoveryButton -

Manual therapy (hands-on treatments) can provide the following benefits: β Pain Relief: Manual therapy techniques can help alleviate pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions. These techniques can target specific areas of pain, reduce feelings of muscle tension and promote relaxation. β Improved Range of Motion: Manual therapy techniques can help improve joint range of motion, muscle tissue flexibility and restore comfortable movement patterns. β Stress Reduction and Relaxation: Manual therapy techniques can have a calming effect on the nervous system. This can help reduce stress, promote relaxation, and improve overall well-being. The effects of manual therapy are often immediate, and may last for hours, days or weeks. When coupled with exercise based treatment the benefits are more significant and longer lasting. At BeachLife Physio we offer a range of manual therapy techniques as well as dry needling to help you feel better and move more comfortably, while guiding you on the exercises that will help you to become stronger, more flexible and more resilient. The combination of manual therapy and exercise can optimise the benefits of both modalities and support your journey towards recovery and improved physical well-being.Button -

Physiotherapists can play a valuable role in supporting individuals who train and compete in Jiu Jitsu: Injury Prevention: Physiotherapists can assess an individual's movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and biomechanics to identify areas of potential vulnerability or imbalances that may increase the risk of injuries during Jiu Jitsu training. They can provide personalised exercises and guidance to address these issues, improving overall body mechanics and reducing the risk of injuries. Rehabilitation: In the event of a significant injury, physiotherapists provide rehabilitation services to facilitate recovery and a safe return to Jiu Jitsu training. They can assess the injury, develop an individualised treatment plan, and use techniques such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities to promote healing, reduce pain, restore range of motion, and rebuild strength and function. Performance Enhancement: Physiotherapists can work closely with Jiu Jitsu athletes to optimise their physical capabilities and performance. They can develop exercise programs to improve strength, power, endurance, agility, and mobility specific to the demands of Jiu-Jitsu. By addressing any movement limitations, weaknesses, or imbalances, physiotherapists can help enhance an athlete's overall performance on the mat. Recovery and Injury Management: Jiu Jitsu training can be physically demanding, and athletes may regularly experience fatigue, muscle soreness, or minor injuries. Physiotherapists can provide guidance on proper recovery strategies, including techniques for managing muscle soreness, optimising recovery and sleep, and incorporating appropriate stretching or mobility exercises to aid in recovery between training sessions. It's important for jiu-jitsu practitioners to consult with a qualified physiotherapist who has experience working with combat sports athletes.
