Low back pain is a common issue, often caused by muscle strain, herniated discs, arthritis, or poor posture. An often-overlooked culprit is sacroiliac (SI) joint dysfunction, which causes pain in the lower back, hips, and buttocks. This pain can worsen with prolonged sitting or standing and may radiate down the legs.
Physiotherapy offers effective treatment for both low back and SI joint pain, including manual therapy, core strengthening exercises, stretching, posture training, and functional movement techniques. Preventive tips include maintaining good posture, strengthening the core, staying active, and using proper lifting techniques.
If pain persists, consulting a physiotherapist can help identify the root cause and guide you toward a pain-free, healthier spine.
