The physical therapy process for low back pain aims not only to relieve pain, but also to eliminate muscle imbalances, postural disorders, and improper loads on the spine that cause the pain. Daily lifestyle habits, prolonged sitting, inactivity, and improper movement patterns can lead to chronic problems in the lower back region. At this point, physical therapy applications aim to achieve lasting recovery by targeting the root cause of low back pain.
