Musculoskeletal conditions include one of the most frequently treated lower back pain issues in people of all ages. Back pain can significantly impact everyday activities. We know that specific orthopedic rehabilitation is what most people need to regain mobility and live life pain-free. Exercises under physiotherapy are essential for strengthening the lower back, improving flexibility, and preventing future injuries.

Why Physiotherapy for Lower Back Pain?

Physiotherapy is more about restoring movement, reducing pain, and strengthening muscles to support the spine. A structured exercise plan, in addition to the guidance of the expert, helps control pain. Our well-experienced physiotherapists provide each patient with the care that is most likely to get the best possible outcome through scientific methods. This includes stretching and strengthening exercises combined with postural correction exercises.

Effective Physiotherapy Exercises for Lower Back Pain

Pelvic tilts for stability of the spine

Pelvic tilting exercises strengthen the lower back and core muscles. This gentle exercise helps improve stability by promoting better posture. To perform the pelvic tilt, lie on the floor on your back with bent knees. Tuck pelvic muscles in and push upwards gently. Hold in this position for five seconds and then release. Repeat ten times. This simple but highly effective mobilization is an important part of our orthopedicphysiotherapy treatment. It helps with pain relief and spinal stabilization.

Knee-to-Chest Stretch for Flexibility

Knee-to-chest stretching is good for relaxing the lower back and increasing flexibility. It is done by lying on your back with both knees bent. Bring one knee to your chest and hold it with both hands. Support it for 20 seconds before switching to the opposing leg. Repeat this motion five times on both sides. Regular stretching enhances mobility, reduces muscle stiffness, and helps in pain management. This exercise is also advantageous for those with chronic lower back pain.

Cat-Cow Stretch for Spinal Mobility

The Cat-Cow stretch is a gentle motion that enhances spinal flexibility and helps release tightness in the back. First, keep your hands and knees on the mat. As you breathe in, you will arch your back and raise your head to move into a Cow Pose. As you exhale, you will round your spine and tuck your chin toward your chest, moving into a Cat Pose. Repeat this motion ten times, slowly and carefully. This dynamic stretch is often prescribed in our physiotherapy clinic in Kerala for patients who are experiencing chronic lower back pain.

Bridge Exercise for Strengthening Core and Back

The bridge exercise is very effective in strengthening the lower back, glutes, and core muscles. A strong core helps to support the spine and prevent further strain. For the bridge, the process is similar to that of lying down with knees shoulder-distance apart and feet flat on the ground. Lift your hips as high as possible using the glutes and hold for five seconds before coming back down slowly. Repeat it ten times. Working these muscles will not only relieve pain but also lower injury chances in the future.
