Lower back pain affects millions of people, interrupting daily life and reducing mobility. At Calm360 in Whitby, Ontario, our registered physiotherapists specialise in evidence-based treatments designed to target the root causes, not just the symptoms, of your discomfort. In this article, we’ll walk through five proven physiotherapy approaches that can help relieve lower back pain, improve movement, and support long-term spinal health.
Lower back pain arises for many reasons: prolonged sitting, poor posture, weak core muscles, previous injuries, or repetitive strain. In Whitby office workers, tradespeople and active older adults, these factors often combine. Understanding the root causes is the first step toward effective relief.
Hands-on physiotherapy techniques such as joint mobilisation and soft tissue manipulation can restore mobility in the spine and relieve muscle tension. These techniques help reduce stiffness, improve circulation, and support the healing process.
Strengthening your core and stabilising muscles can reduce stress on your lower back. At Calm360 in Whitby we design personalised exercise programs focused on your posture, lifestyle and goals to build long-term resilience.
Many lower back issues are aggravated by poor posture—especially if you sit for long hours or lift incorrectly. Our physiotherapists assess your posture, advise on ergonomics, and provide strategies to prevent recurrence.
Using heat to relax muscles or cold to reduce inflammation, combined with gentle movement therapy, speeds recovery. These methods are especially useful in acute flare-ups of lower back pain.
Once pain has been alleviated, we focus on sustaining your results. We teach you how to maintain mobility, avoid future injury, and incorporate back-friendly habits into your daily routine, whether you live in Whitby, the Durham Region or beyond.
When you visit Calm360 for your first physiotherapy appointment, expect a thorough assessment of your posture, movement and strength. We discuss your pain history, goals and lifestyle.
