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 came across 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 to reduce pain and improve activity in the short term. Doing both yoga and walking was suggested to be a beneficial combination for CLBP 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 the same effects on pain and disability as other exercise modes or physical therapy. (2) Most everyone can walk. Some like physical therapy exercise. Most can perform yoga if they want. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries understands that not every exercise option may be our Manchester back pain sufferer’s “thing”! Options are essential to participation...and Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries has them!
MOTOR CONTROL EXERCISES
One group of researchers wrote that up-to-date evidence does not suggest that any one form of exercise is better than any other for back pain relief. That’s interesting! They did report that exercise is modestly effective treatment for chronic low back pain, a major health and socioeconomic issue (cost, disability, missed work). The most common form of exercise for back pain relief was described as being motor control exercise which works on the deep muscles and their coordination. Reportedly not superior to other types of exercise, motor control exercise should be an option for chronic low back pain patients among other kinds of exercise. The researchers suggested that the choice should be made by the patient in collaboration with his/her doctor/therapist.
