Backs in Balance - learn how to improve your back pain with exercise and lifestyle
Is your back pain slowing you down, or
stopping you from doing the things you love the most?
Are you having sleepless nights, leaving you
exhausted in the day?
Are you fed up with paying the physio, chiro,
or massage therapist every week
just to keep you moving?
You're not alone. 1 in 4 Australians suffer with lower back pain on any given day, and half of the population have had back pain in the past month! For some of us, the pain is acute - that is, it goes away after a few days or a week or two. For other people, the pain is chronic, it just persists, and continues on and on, affecting every part of our lives. Back pain doesn’t just worsen our physical health, it wreaks havoc on our social lives, our family time, and our mental health and well being.
Our Exercise Physiologists at Health in Balance are trained specialists in exercise, rehabilitation, and lifestyle medicine for lower back pain management. We know exactly how to safely assess you, your muscle strength, flexibility, fitness, and movement control, and work together with you to develop a rehabilitation, strengthening, and health and well-being program to get you back into the life that you miss.
