Not Just Back Exercises or Core Stability
Often times we hear people tell us that they have become frustrated because they have tried therapies involving back exercises, core stability and rehabilitation and have had limited or no success. Commonly patients will tell us “Every time I try and exercise, I don’t see any improvement. Sometimes, the exercises make my back or neck pain get worse”.
The main reason we see for this lies in how the body has compensated for the back or neck injury. Either as a result of an injury, or in response to our normal daily activities, characteristic muscle imbalance and functional movement problems that you might not be aware of can occur. If not diagnosed and corrected, these functional movement pathologies limit your ability to move and may even cause further pain and injury as you try and get active again.
What does the assessment offer?
A detailed functional assessment gets to the underlying cause of your pain as well as identifies how your body has adapted to coping with this pain over time including:
- Deconditioning
- Muscle imbalance
- Poor coordination
- Poor performance
What’s Next?
The functional assessment gives an overall comprehensive picture of the underlying cause of your pain as well as how your body has adapted to this pain over time. The results of this assessment will form the basis of your roadmap Back 2 Action. We know that rehabilitation is more than just easing or relieving your pain. Once pain control is achieved, treatment needs to move towards correcting the dysfunction that has resulted from your body coping with pain.
Phase I: Pain Control
Various treatment modalities are employed and combined in both the clinic setting and at home to assist you to gain control over your pain.
Phase II: Functional Restoration
Once you have gained control over your pain, the neuromusculoskeletal system’s function is assessed to determine how your body has adapted to being in pain. Treatment then shifts towards correcting these dysfunctional motor patterns so you can regain efficient and pain-free movement.
Phase III: Health Maintenance or “Wellness”
Once you are able to move efficiently and without pain, treatment shifts towards rebuilding strength, flexibility and fitness so you can return to the activities you love. Emphasis is on teaching you what you can do to maintain and improve your health on your own so you can regain your independence.
