Spine Health

About spine health

Spine health refers to the low back, neck and upper back region working in harmony with posture, movement and muscular balance. Complaints in this region are quite common and can often not be attributed to a single cause.

Posture habits, inactivity, repetitive strain and muscular imbalances can affect the picture. The diagnosis of any underlying condition is made by a physician.

Process and practice

Following a detailed assessment, a personalised rehabilitation programme targeting movement, strength, flexibility and posture is created.

Instead of a standard exercise list that is the same for everyone, a plan suited to the person's complaint and daily life is followed. In situations that require a physician's diagnosis, it is carried out in collaboration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is physiotherapy used for a lumbar disc herniation?

Once a physician has diagnosed it and the acute phase has passed, physiotherapy is used for most lumbar disc herniations. The programme covers movement, strength and posture work; where there are progressive neurological signs, the decision lies with the physician.

Can a flattened neck curve be corrected with exercise?

A flattened neck curve is mostly related to posture and muscle imbalance. Exercise and posture training can help reduce complaints and support movement quality, although the curve on the X-ray is not expected to be fully restored in everyone.

What is a posture analysis?

It is the systematic observation and measurement of how the head, shoulders, spine, pelvis and legs are aligned when standing and sitting. The analysis helps pinpoint possible sources of complaints and clarify the programme's goals.

How many sessions are needed?

The number varies with the duration of the complaint, the goal and adherence to the home programme. An estimated plan is shared after the initial assessment and revised as things progress.
