Back Pain- Thoughts From Advance Physical Therapy and Sport Rehab in Lynn

Ubiquitous back pain.. Unfortunately, not many people are able to avoid it. A recent New York Times story entitled ” Sit Up Straight. Your Back Thanks You ” pointed out that 80% of Americans experience back pain at some point in their lives.

What kinds of things can be done to help? For one , the article suggests, developing core strength and proper posture can help prevent a great deal of back pain. The importance of an exercise plan and the value of physical therapy are highlighted. “A physical therapist can show you how to align your spine and provide you with exercises to both strengthen your core and loosen up stiff neck, back, arm and leg muscles (tight hamstrings can contribute to back pain" ), the article says.
