Medical research and evidence shows conclusively that exercise is an essential part of helping to treat, manage and resolve back pain and backache.  BOOST PHYSIO’s team create a personalised programme appropriate for each individual we treat and is suitable to help improve their condition.  There is no conclusive proof or evidence that one form of exercise is superior to another.  For example is swimming better than pilates?  Is yoga better for back pain than walking?  There is no evidence to say one type of exercise is superior to another type of exercise.  For exercise to be effective it must be done consistently and regularly and we always recommend patients choose something they enjoy, that is accessible to them and will help improve mobility, strength and fitness without triggering back pain.
