Back pain and exercise rehabilitation

Back pain is so common that most individuals will experience a back pain episode at some point in their lives, so having strategies to keep moving and to stay positive will be useful to rely on when needed. Seeing a physiotherapist to help diagnose your pain will help you understand how long it may take to improve. Most episodes of back pain can improve within 5-6 weeks. I usually explain to patients that this is a bell curve so some people it takes less time, some takes more time, and the majority of people fall in the middle, around thr 5-6 week mark.

I have a variety of mobility sessions and programs on my app Ripple to help with middle back and thoracic pain or rib pain, as well as lower back pain.

Lower back pain

This program is 4 phases and will take you from acute to foundations to strength, giving you exercise options and progressions. It is available for free on my app Ripple.

Mid back and thoracic pain

This program can be beneficial for rib pain, thoracic pain, mid back or upper back pain, and even neck pain. It covers flexion and extension, rotation and builds up to strengthening exercises. There are 4 phases going from beginner, to intermediate, through to advanced.
