Have you ever noticed that after a long day at work your neck, shoulders and low back are kind of tight and sore (especially if you do a lot of computer work)? Feels like you’re in a huge knot and you just can’t shake it? Well, maybe you need to have your work station assessed to make sure you are in the most efficient position possible to minimize the stresses to your neck, shoulders, and back. This can make all the difference in the world!

If you feel like you would benefit from a work station assessment, please call us, Central Oahu PT Specialists, at 450-9250.

Do you suffer from low back pain? Have you tried to just lay off and rest it but the pain persists? Physical therapy may be your answer.

A recent study in the journal Spine found that patients that received physical therapy within the first 4 weeks of the onset of low back pain were less likely to receive epidural steroid injections, lumbar surgery, or frequent physician office visits in the year following their initial physician visit as compared with patients who received physical therapist treatment later. Also, in the Journal of Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy, specific trunk strengthening and balance exercises were shown to be more beneficial than just strengthening and flexibility exercises alone in people with long standing low back pain.

If you suffer from low back pain and are interested in learning specific exercises that can help you, please call us, Central Oahu PT Specialists, at 450-9250.
