“Undertaking a comprehensive exercise program combining mobility, strength & cardio combined with regular soft tissue physio sessions has allowed me break the cycle of lower back pain flare-ups & the despondency that brings.
“I’ve found exercise medicine has increased my awareness & understanding of how my body works; which movements need to be undertaken with caution until I’ve mastered them, what basic movement pattern I should revert to when a flare up occurs, & which movements my body really enjoys.
“When I started my program I was incredibly guarded, pre-empting pain. I’ve now conquered that mindset & am building strength & control. Progress can be measured in many ways but I particularly notice the small day-to-day aspects — like doing the dishes without pain, getting in & out of bed with ease, & attending social events where I can stand for long periods of time.”
