Physical therapy with a trained professional may be useful if the pain has not improved after 3-4 weeks. It is important for every person who has chronic back pain likely to have an exercise program. Professionals who understand the limitations and special needs of back pain, and can address individual health conditions, should guide this program. One study showed that patients who are planning their own training programs do worse than those in physical therapy or physician program - directed.Physical therapy usually includes:
Education and training of patients in the correct movement.
Exercises to help patients keep the spine in a neutral position during all daily activities.
Wrong moves or long-term, high-impact exercise is often the cause of back pain in the first place. People are prone to back pain should avoid activities that put undue stress on the lower back or require sudden twisting motion, such as football, golf, ballet, and heavy lifting.
