Back Injury: Why Building Tolerance So Important To Overcoming Low Back Injury

When we are injured, we are often blinded from the pain and disability which leads us to do things that are not good for our recovery. Oftentimes we are desperate and through frustration we end up taking the wrong approach. This often leads to the injury not getting better and, in many cases, becoming a chronic issue. When this happens, we lose confidence in our bodies and start accepting that it will not get better again. This downward spiral ends up being our life or rather our life becomes dictated by this downward spiral. This is a place we don't want to find ourselves in. In this series of four episodes we will explain how to build tolerance through desensitisation, spinal hygiene and stabilisation techniques/training.

In this first episode we introduce the concept of how to approach your injury through the lens of building tolerance, which sets you on the path to recovery. Being aware of these principles will provide the key to optimal recovery and like with many things in life provides the start of a plan for successful rehabilitation. You need a strategy and here we explain what is needed to consider in your personalised strategy.

Some of the things you’ll discover…

• Why not to stretch your lower back injury
• Why too much exercise for your injury is holding you back from recovery
• The importance of adequate rest for your healing potential
• Understanding compression of the spine and how much is needed
• Why we need to desensitise first
• Quality movement is essential to allow the injury to heal
• Why we need to avoid the pain trigger(s)

Highlights

Like with any rehabilitation plan you need to take a systematic approach and the low back is no different. Unfortunately, all too often, the approach that is undertaken is wrong, or key principles are overlooked which results in negative outcomes, frustration, and ultimately chronic pain. Learning how to desensitise is a fundamental principle in low back pain recovery and done the right way results in more successful outcomes.
