Hi everyone,

I've been dealing with chronic lower back pain for a few years and am considering physiotherapy as a treatment option.

I've tried various medications and exercises, but nothing has provided long-term relief.

I'm curious if anyone here has experience with physiotherapy for this issue. How effective was it for you, and how long did it take to notice improvements?

Also, are there specific exercises or techniques that worked best?

Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, physiotherapy can be effective for chronic lower back pain. It helps improve flexibility, strength, and posture, reducing pain and discomfort. Many people experience significant improvement within 6-12 weeks. It's essential to find a qualified physiotherapist who can create a personalized exercise program tailored to your specific needs.

Hello, 👋
Sorry to hear about your back pain. I know the feeling. I have the same issue with my back too sadly. Get well soon. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you! I'm going to physical therapy three times a week at the local hospital for outpatient physical therapy. 🙏 Still in pain sadly. I'm doing the best I can. One of my disc in my back is dislocated and it's deteriorating. I was in a very terrible car wreck. And my age getting older. I know what pain is like. It's terrible. I like going to physical therapy. I have a great physical therapist. I do ALL my exercises with my physical therapist. I like how is one on one. He doesn't do so many patients at a time. It's just him and I. Better focus. I get better results. Try to see if you can find one physical therapist to do one on one with you. It's better for me. Some physical therapist do like three to five people at a time. Which I don't like. I'm glad I found my physical therapist at the hospital. I do physical therapist for my back, both knees, and ankles. Good luck to you in finding the right physical therapist if you choose that route. 🙏 Be safe and well. Take very good care.

ALL the best,
Princessa

I have had chronic lower back pain too, and physiotherapy really helped. It took a few weeks to notice real improvement, but staying consistent with the exercises made all the difference. Core strengthening and stretches like pelvic tilts worked well for me. It might take some time, but hang in there—it’s worth it.

Good luck

I tried the pelvic tits or tilts too, me entire pelvic collapsed. Never again.
 
You have to be your own therapist later in life. Movement is medicine. In all it’s forms. Move where it hurts. Often. Even if you have to grit your teeth. Think like a caveman. Or cave woman. Move and live. Or lie down and die.
