Each patient and their low back pain symptoms are different and therefore, specific physical therapy treatment will be unique to each patient.
Due to the mechanical component of low back pain, physical therapy will often address core/lumbar stabilization training, core strengthening, body mechanic awareness, postural awareness and stability, and back/leg flexibility.
A home program or return to activity program is also a key component of physical therapy and treatment for chronic low back pain. A home exercise program is strongly emphasized to allow the patient to have more control and understanding for the long term management of low back pain, with the benefits of exercise. The progression of therapy and hope program may further assist the patient to become more involved in community physical activities as per physician recommendations/precautions.
