What is the most common injury we treat at Prima Clinic?

A lot of clients ask me what the most common injury I treat is, the truth is lower back pain in sedentary workers is probably the condition I come across most frequently.

Employees sat at desks or in vehicles for long periods of time can report various symptoms of back pain. The reason for this is the tightening of certain muscle groups which in turn affects the pelvis (the structure that connects the trunk and the legs).

What is the treatment for lower back pain?

The treatment is simple, encourage movement and avoid the same posture for long periods of time. The assessment to identify the muscle groups which are unbalanced is imperative. Treatments for these lower back conditions can include many different physiotherapy techniques these include Sports Massage and advanced stretching programs to manipulate tight muscle groups and/or strengthening techniques to improve muscle function in the underperforming muscles.

As sports therapists our priority is to use physiotherapy services to reduce pain and prevent further issues in the future, thus achieving a pain-free lifestyle for our clients.
