Back Classes

Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most common and costly musculoskeletal disorder. It is the largest single cause of sickness absence in the UK and affects 7 out of 10 people at some time in their lives and can affect anyone. There are two types of low back pain.

Acute - less than 3 months duration.
Chronic - over 3 months duration.

The health benefits of exercise are plentiful and have been well studied in LBP sufferers. In Acute LBP the results of two large randomised controlled trials showed an exercise based approach reduced sick leave absence by half when compared to usual physician care. Strong evidence also exists for the benefits of exercise in the treatment of Chronic back pain.

Here at Coastal Clinics we are offering a back re-conditioning programme. The physiotherapist will take you through an exercise programme specifically tailored for LBP sufferers.

It will consist of a weekly 1 hour group exercise programme up to a maximum of 6 people. Keeping the group small means that the physiotherapist can pay attention to each individual’s needs and limitations. Anyone wishing to join the group and who was not already a patient at Coastal Clinics would need to have an assessment first to evaluate their suitability. The course runs over 6 weeks on a Monday evening from 7.00 - 8.00.

Please contact us if you would like to book on this .
