Bottom Line:

Movement is one of the best ways to recover from back pain. 

In fact, science has shown us that medications and rest are actually a few of the least effective ways to find relief! The lack of motion itself causes pain receptor activity to increase within the capsule of the joint. 

Your body is designed to move! Often times it’s the lack of daily movement (or chronic postural changes) that causes back pain to begin in the first place. If these behaviors continue and no intervention is applied, the chances of improving are slim to none! 

Why it Matters:

The right movements and exercises can help you recover more quickly and prevent future back pain episodes. That is one of the main reasons at ProMove we often recommend at home exercises or stretches designed specifically for you. This program is emailed, and Is directly accessible through an app on your phone. How easy is that! This also allows you the resources to stay out of pain for longer. 

 

There are 3 different types of body movements:

1) Segmental – motion that occurs between individual joints of the body

2) Regional – movement within a body region, such as your neck, mid-back, or low back

3) Whole Body – actions we typically think of as exercise

 

All three types are essential and work together to keep your spine and musculoskeletal system healthy and functioning at its best. If one area is faulty, we cannot perform the other two simply because of a limitation or “weak link”.

 

Here’s a closer look:

· Segmental Movement: Moving the individual joints of your body is what chiropractors are specifically trained to do. Proper segmental movement can help reduce pain, improve your range of motion, and influence your central nervous system.

· Regional Movement: Dynamic stretching with regional range of motion exercises can reduce low back stiffness.

· Whole Body Exercise: daily exercise can help your brain and body feel better as well as improve your rest and recovery at night. Did you know ProMove provides adult fitness classes on MWF tailored to fitness level?

Next Steps: 

The foundation of all movement is segmental movement. 

If your joints aren't moving correctly, the rest of your body isn’t moving correctly or well.
