up to you to choose what exercise works
for you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis
of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking was
found to be as effective as control interventions for short term relief of
chronic low back pain and slightly superior for intermediate
term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial
to reduce pain and improve activity
in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking
was suggested to be a valuable combination
for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18
randomized controlled trials, yoga was said
to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve
functional disability from short to long term when compared with
non-exercise, usual care, and education. But it had similar
effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy.
(2) Most everyone can take a stroll. Some like physical
therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they want.
Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center knows not every exercise option may be
our Pensacola back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options
are essential to participation...and Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date
evidence doesn’t indicate that any one
form of exercise is better than any other for back
pain relief. That is interesting! They did state that
exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain,
a substantial health and socioeconomic issue (cost,
disability, missed work). The most
common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as
being motor control exercise which works
on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not
superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should
be an alternative for chronic low back pain patients among
other types of exercise. The researchers indicated
that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her
doctor/therapist. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center talks with each Pensacola back
pain sufferer to learn about what exercise will work and will be
done. That’s the most important factor!
