The following are rehabilitation exercises to help you recover faster and prevent re-injury. Please contact your Health Professional if you have
any questions

Low Back Pain / Lumbar Sprain

Low back pain results from damage to structures in the back (i.e. muscle,
ligament, disc, and nerve).
Injury commonly occurs following a relatively simple movement such as bending
forward or twisting through the spine. However it can also occur through more
complex and forceful movements.
Pain may be central across the back, or to one side of the spine. It may also
radiate down into the buttocks, back of the thigh or lower leg.
Movement may be restricted, it may difficult to “straighten up” to a normal
standing posture.
Management involves joint and soft tissue mobilisation, strengthening of the
lumbar spine musculature and mobilisation of the neural structures.
