Standing for too long can cause pain in your lower back, legs and feet. When you stand all day at work or are constantly chasing a small child about, you may find yourself suffering from back pain caused by standing.
You can get lower back pain help from a physical therapist. Your specific kind of lower back pain will need a unique treatment plan; a physical therapist can provide one. They can start with a comprehensive evaluation of your lower back. When the evaluation is completed, your physical therapist will evaluate the results. They can then determine the factors contributing to your back issue and design a personalized treatment plan for your specific back problem. Such a plan may include therapeutic exercises and many other techniques.
Physical therapy techniques that can help your back pain from standing
- Manual therapy — Manual therapy refers to a specialized branch of physical therapy that aims to enhance range of motion, reduce or eliminate pain, and promote healing using hands-on techniques.
- Graston Technique® — The Graston Technique can help with soft tissue injuries to muscles, connective tissue and the skin. This technique can be especially helpful for repetitive stress injuries and strains. This PT method utilizes a variety of specially shaped tools. The physical therapist uses these tools to apply pressure to the affected area, which can ease soft tissue tension, boost blood flow and cut pain.
- Myofascial release — Also called trigger point therapy, myofascial release is designed to release stress and tension in the fascia. Doing so can help restore normal motion, lower the risk of scarring and reduce pain.
