Back Injury: Understanding The Importance of Stabilisation And The Role It Plays In Back Rehabilitation

One of the fundamental issues with the back-pain epidemic is the sedentary nature of the lives that we lead. A lack of conditioning of the key muscles throughout the core is leading to micro-movements in the spine leading to injury, and pain. Micro-movements occur due to a lack of stability throughout the spine which needs to be resolved if any underlying tissue damage is to be resolved because otherwise these micro-movements continue and the underlying tissue damage cannot heal. Stability is often overlooked as much of the advice often recommends a flexibility-based approach to treat back pain. But how can introducing flexibility-based movement be healthy for a back that is moving too much?!!!

In this fourth episode of this four-part series we introduce the concept of spinal stabilisation and the role this plays in back recovery. We discuss a progressive approach to building safe movement before applying key principles to more complex exercises! You will learn that only a small amount of time is required to implement key principles each day but how repetition is important to rehabilitation success. You will learn how micro movement in the low back needs to be controlled by recruiting key muscles whilst understanding that these muscles must be recruited safely!

Some of the things you’ll discover…

• What is meant by spinal stabilisation?
• How do you stabilise the injured area?
• The mistakes most people make when trying to resolve their back pain
• How the nervous system works to protect your spine
• Why your back often feels tight when experiencing back pain
• The importance of stabilising between the hips and the shoulders
• Exercises that enhance stabilisation and which exercises negatively impact your back health
• Why it's crucial to understand the concept of stabilisation

Highlights

The importance of building up exercise to ensure it provides stability in the long term. How repetitive training builds up ‘neurological’ memory which allows you to execute exercises subconsciously meaning that you’re performing movements safely, without having to think about the movements you make all the time. This helps build long term resilience to recurring injury but allows you to perform activities of daily living and even sporting endeavours safely as well as efficiently.
