Back ache?

Do you suffer from back pain?

Do you wake up with a backache?

Uncomfortable lying down?

Lose sleep because of it?

Is standing for long periods uncomfortable?

If you’re like most folks, you probably spend a lot of time in the seated position -working from a desk, sitting at a computer terminal, driving, commuting, watching television in the evening etc…

When our bodies are in the seated position day in and day out we lose elasticity in our muscles, tendons and connective tissue.

Muscles begin to shrink -to adapt to the seated positioning we adopt so often. This shrinkage causes our posture to change and will even begin to shift our pelvis into a forward alignment called hyperlordosis.

This exaggerated alignment causes compression on our lumbar spine which in turn gives us pain.

Do you have excessive, compressive lordosis of the lumbar spine?

Take a look at your waistline from the side.

Is your belt or waistband parallel to the floor -or is it angled forward?

A healthy alignment would be parallel.

Chances are if you suffer from back pain, your pelvis has a forward alignment…..but we can fix that.

Physical therapy and corrective stretching and strengthening exercises provide relief in over 75% of back pain sufferers.
