The Benefits of Walking On Back Health: Is Walking Good For Sciatica & Other Back Conditions?

The Benefits of Walking On Back Health: Is Walking Good For Sciatica & Other Back Conditions?

Walking is often overlooked in the recovery process of lower back injury. The strategy best suited for the individual is of course the one best fit for their specific problem but walking should almost always form part of the rehabilitation process. The effect of walking on the tissues in and around the spine is essential and similarly when we do not get this movement it can have a detrimental impact. Walking gives the injured person the advantage of speeding up the healing process as well as aiding the mental aspect of getting outside and remaining active. The mental aspect of walking is also fundamental in the recovery process. As we increase the ability to walk pain free, we are getting feedback from our body that we are recovering and thus we are building movement tolerance in the subconscious.

In this episode we highlight the benefits of walking in the recovery process and just how it benefits the spine. We highlight how walking activates the muscles that support spine stability. We also cover off the potential prescription of walking in terms of frequency and duration to provide a guide for implementing walking into your recovery plans.

Some of the things you’ll discover:

  • How walking effects, the spine and injured tissues when walking
  • How walking aids in recovery through activation of spinal muscles
  • What might be the ideal prescription of walking for you
  • How the mental aspect of walking influences your lower back recovery
  • What you can do together with walking to aid your recovery

Highlights

Walking is often neglected in the recovery process of lower back injuries, but it is a very important aspect of the healing process. Research, together with clinical experience, has shown us how movement is essential to pump fluids and blood around the body in order for tissues to get back to normal function. Walking is the most natural movement we can make and should be used to restore general physical movement. Considering this, we should understand that walking should be used in very specific dosages when we are injured and that the dosage depends on your injury.
