A couple new insights about effective exercise interventions are presented here for our Largo back pain patients’ consideration as it is up to you to select what exercise suits you!
WALKING AND MIND-BODY THERAPIES: Gentle Exercise Options
Walking works, so do mind-body therapies like yoga. An analysis of 31 randomized control trials of 3193 participants, walking was found to be as effective as control interventions for short term relief of chronic low back pain and somewhat superior for intermediate term pain relief and activity limitation improvement while yoga was more beneficial for pain and activity limitation improvement in the short term. Combining both walking and yoga was proposed as a beneficial combination for chronic low back pain patients. (1) In an analysis of 18 randomized controlled trials, yoga was reported to decrease pain in the short to intermediate term and to improve functional disability from short to long term when compared with non-exercise, usual care, and education. However it had similar effects on pain and disability as other exercise types or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can do yoga if they so desire. Hollstrom & Associates Inc knows not every exercise option may be our Largo back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options are essential to participation...and Hollstrom & Associates Inc has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One set of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence doesn’t indicate that any single form of exercise is superior to any other for back pain relief. That’s interesting! They did report that exercise is modestly effective treatment for CLBP, a significant health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common type of exercise for back pain relief was reported as motor control exercise working on the deep muscles and their coordination. Supposedly not superior to other forms of exercise, motor control exercise should be an option for chronic low back pain patients among other kinds of exercise. The researchers indicated that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her doctor/therapist. (3) Hollstrom & Associates Inc talks with each Largo back pain sufferer to find out what exercise will work and will be done. That is the most important factor!
