Important Information - Please read
​
The videos and images below have been carefully sourced, and are highly recommended for patients with sub-acute and chronic stage lower back pain. Low back pain is the most common pathology presentation to our Myotherapy clinic.
​
Sub acute pain is any injury or pain that has been in effect for 5 or more days. Chronic pain is pain that has been persistant for 3 or more months.
​​
Note: If any of these cause you pain that is not tolerable, stop immediately and use heat pack therapy as an alternative. Please contact our practice, to be professionally assessed and treated.
Remember, it is important to move carefully, and avoid prolonged sedentary positions, such as sitting. Twisting and lifting should be avoided. Walking is encouraged, but in the cute and sub-acute stage, shorter distances.
​
If you are presenting to our clinic for the first time, please bring with you any copies of imaging results (MRI, CT, Ulrtrasound or X-Ray) for Jonathan to record and store on your patient file.
​​
Our patient care does not finish when you leave our clinic - our care continues well beyond this point.
​​
We actively follow up with all of our clients to check on progress, to provide rehabilitative support, and to gauge whether follow-up therapy is required.
​
In sporadic cases, post-treatment tenderness may be experienced. The reason for this is that the musculoskeletal system is
subjected to controlled inflammatory responses immediately after treatment, which aids soft tissue repair.
This, of course, always depends on the patient's clinical presentation.
​
In some instances, a follow-up appointment is recommended as part of your treatment plan.
We provide all clients with exercises to perform both at home and work, to ensure the treatment itself is only a small portion of the ongoing
treatment plan.
​
Please feel free to visit the patient exercises page on this website for more detailed videos and images to help assist you with your pain management, and to ensure your treatment is successful.
