This week we explain what we can do at Elite Pilates to take care of one of the areas of the body with the highest incidence of pain that generates more disability. Specifically, we talk about physiotherapy for lower back pain and how we can help you with the pilates classes can help you to improve.

What do we mean by physiotherapy for lower back pain?

It may simply be low back pain caused by muscle decompensation with inflammation, stiffness and functional disability, or it may be accompanied by electrical pain in the nerve pathway to the foot, sciatica, or referred pain that usually remains at the knee and is considered pseudo-sciatica.

Low back pain is related to the presence of muscular imbalances caused by overloading, weakness, repetitive movements or bad postures that generate changes in structures such as: ligamentous distensions, herniated or protruded discs, discopathies, sacroiliac dysfunctions, vertebral blockages, or pathological processes such as arthrosis, osteoarthritis, spondylosis, spondylolisthesis, spondylolisthesis.

In physiotherapy and after a thorough assessment of the lower back, pelvis, hips, or dorsal area - to detect the musculature in imbalance or the affected structures that promote pain - the treatment will be focused on solving the causative factor, improving the function of the spine, strengthening and preventing future problems.

How can it help you?

The main tools and techniques available to effectively treat low back pain include the following:

1. Massage therapy, myofascial relaxation and dry needling: To remove tension points and muscle overload.
2. Electrotherapy and percutaneous electrolysis: To modulate pain and reach deep tissues by means of electric current.
3. IndibaRadiofrequency: Radiofrequency that increases the heat in depth relaxing the muscular tissue.
4. KinesiotapeNeuromuscular taping.
5. Neurodynamic exercisesTo mobilise nerve tissue.
6. Exercises to strengthen the abdominal and lumbar girdle.

Pilates develops the deep muscles and is an ideal rehabilitative method for balancing all the muscle chains in the body. It also works on correct posture to prevent relapses. The aim of these techniques is to relax and reduce tension in the structures that are overloaded, improving the irrigation and vascularisation of the area and thus reducing inflammation and pain. With this we will achieve better mobility, strengthening the weakest areas to achieve better functionality in the long term and a speedy recovery.
