Return to Normal Activities
It is common for people who have just experienced low back pain to be cautious about returning to their usual activities of gardening, lifting, carry the kids, golf, tennis, or gym.
It is important not to avoid or prolong a return to activity in fear of “doing more damage”.
Returning to regular activities is safe and you should feel comfortable to return to things like. work or sporting activities.
If you are worried, scared or fearful of doing more damage then it is best to be assessed by a professional and seek an active treatment plan.
However, If you feel confident, focus on a graded return to activity. You need to build up a tolerance to movement and activities through starting small and building up gradually over time.
Remember our backs are designed to move, bend, twist, turn, stretch and lift.
So if you want it to function normally, you have to allow it to do it, learn movement again and build the capacity to do more of it over time.
