Low back pain often occurs due to muscle imbalances, postural disorders, and faulty movement habits. At this point, physiotherapy support aims not only to reduce pain but also to eliminate the mechanical problems that cause low back pain. By evaluating spinal mechanics, physiotherapists plan personalized exercise and manual therapy programs to ensure the lumbar region is properly supported.
