Ideally, you may want to be able to exercise without Back Pain, move without Joint Restriction and contract your Muscles from a place where your Muscles are feeling relaxed first, to better enjoy the day to day movements of living with ease and productivity.

It’s said that between 70-90% of people in Australia experience Back Pain at some point in their lives, with similar statistics in many other parts of the world.

Specifically, Back Pain can be felt in the Lower Back, the Middle Back or the Upper Back.

Particularly, when Lower Back Pain is felt, being in the lowest part of the Spine, it’s common for pain to also be experienced nearby in the Sacrum, Hips & Buttocks.

When Back Pain is experienced in the Middle or Upper Back, being in the higher part of the Spine, it can contribute to Neck Pain and a Posture that is not efficient to sustain when you stand, walk or sit.

We have had the privilege of helping people with our Myotherapy service in Caulfield, Malvern, Brighton, Elsternwick, Carnegie, Ormond, Bentleigh, St Kilda, the surrounding suburbs and at times people from all around Australia. We have been involved with this over the last 15+ years, with a combined total of over 21,000+ individual consult treatments performed over this time.

If you’re Back is feeling stiff and sore when you sit, stand up, walk or lie down, it is a good idea to have your Back taken care of with our Muscular Myotherapy specialized service for Back Pain, Hip Pain or Neck Pain, so that you can feel at ease and enjoy these basic day to day movements and positions.

Exercising your muscles to make them stronger is always a good idea, but this can only happen comfortably when your muscles are ‘released’ of tension and de-sensitized of Myofascial Trigger Point “Knots” that are deep in the Muscle Fibres, which can refer pain to the Joints of the Back – where the very Muscles are mechanically attached to.

Using the analogy of breathing – You need to ‘breathe out’ before having the capacity to ‘breath in’.

In a similar way, it’s a good idea for your Muscles to feel relaxed, your Joints to feel mobile and your Back feeling good, so that in turn, you can then perform the ranges of movements of the many exercises you do with ease in the first place, rather than just needing to exercise with a sore Back.

There is no one single cause of Back Pain, but there are contributing or aggravating factors that can be assessed and clarified, to reduce the pain short term or eliminate and manage the pain long term.

Having treated over 3500+ real people with real Back concerns, with over 21,000+ treatment consults performed over a period of 15+ years in clinic practice, we have had the experience of observing a common trend – Which shows that repetitively overused Muscles from the repetitive movements that are perform throughout the day at home, at work or during exercise, combined with a tired or less efficient Posture, has contributed to the different kinds of Back Pain in the various locations of the Back and upon various movements or positions.

This is rather very different from when the Muscles are simply weak and in need of strengthening, which is another important phase of recovery and progress, that works complementary with our Myotherapy treatment.

Begin to move, exercise and play your favourite sport from a place of greater Muscular ease, better Joint mobility and a life where your Back Pain or Back Soreness isn’t getting in the way of your day.

In the cases where the Back has been injured (ie Disc Bulge, Strain, Sprain, Herniation) or has a Structural condition (ie Osteo-Arthritis, Sciatica, Spondylolisthesis), the Muscles commonly compensate for these scenarios by hyper-contracting to protect you initially, by preventing movement of these structures, given that the muscles literally attach to the Joints and Bones that make up your Spine.

At the beginning of an injury this can be a useful short term defence mechanism. However when an injury has partially or fully healed in the weeks or months following, the Muscles can commonly remain hyper-contracted unnecessarily, even when they don’t need to be – similar to a ‘bad memory’ that isn’t serving you anymore, but the Neuro-Muscular version of this so to speak.

Once the Muscles become hyper-contracted and overused, they often develop Myofascial Trigger Point “Knots”, which can contribute to more Back Pain. This is a typical presentation of Myofascial Pain.

The conclusion reached is that whether the Muscles are the primarily cause of your Back Pain, Hip Pain or Neck Pain, or a secondary contributing factor – the Muscular tension, the Myofascial Pain or the Neuro-Muscular Trigger Point “Knots” that can develop, still need to be taken care of, so that you can continue to exercise without Back Pain, move without restriction and enjoy the day to day movements of your life with ease.

This is where our multi award winning Muscular Myotherapy service based in Caulfield comes in, that particularly specializes in taking care of these overused and tight Muscles, Myofascial Pain or Neuro-Muscular Trigger Point “Knots”, that can otherwise contribute to the Nerves becoming sensitive and the Back feeling ‘sore’, the Neck feeling ‘tense’ or the Hip feeling ‘stiff’.

Book in your first Muscular Myotherapy consult, so that we can assess your Back situation and measure how you feel after your treatments with us.

Most of our clients are referred from a family member or friend that we have already successfully treated with our Myotherapy service for Back Pain, Neck Pain or Hip Pain, when the cause was primarily contributed from a repetitively overused and hyper-contracted Neuro-Muscular system or a sensitive Myofascial Pain system that often develops Trigger Point “Knot”, which can refer pain to the various parts of the Back and Spine.

Other clients are usually referred to us for our Myotherapy service based in Caulfield, from their medical practitioner or physician.
