MID & LOW BACK<br />

Muscle soreness can be found in the taut bands<br />

of muscles in the posterior back and along the<br />

spine. <strong>The</strong>se muscles are postural and provide<br />

the support mechanisms for successfully<br />

performing everyday work and leisure activities.<br />

It is easy <strong>to</strong> take for granted how many activities<br />

these specific muscles support, such as providing<br />

the ability <strong>to</strong> sit and type at the computer,<br />

talk on the phone, hold a child, gardening or golf.<br />

Overview<br />

All <strong>to</strong>o often, we become acutely aware of their<br />

existence when discomfort prevents us from full<br />

range of motion. Mid and back pain could be from<br />

any one of a number of causes including referred<br />

pain from muscles not located in the back. Please<br />

note, if acute pain in your lower back persists, or<br />

if you are experiencing bowel or bladder issues<br />

despite your self treatment attempts, please refer<br />

yourself <strong>to</strong> a qualified health professional <strong>to</strong> rule<br />

out a more serious medical condition.<br />
