Exercise can relieve back pain

I have been reading in my physiotherapy press about how the numerous studies have shown that exercise can relieve pain in the back.

The latest research has also shown that exercise can also decrease the risk of developing lower back pain in the first place.

This isn’t news for many physios who have been treating back pain since the profession began, but good to know there is research out there to back it up.

So if you have back pain or wish to prevent back pain, an exercise programme (prescribed by an appropriate healthcare professional such as a physiotherapist), could be well worth the time and effort.
