Jamaica Physiotherapy Association

What are myths? A widely false belief or idea.
What are facts? A thing known or proved to be true

There are several myths about back pain, but as therapists, we stick to the facts.

Physiotherapists are here to guide you on that "facts train" as you journey to having a better back. 😀

Are you experiencing back pain? Not sure what is causing the pain? Is it becoming more difficult to do your daily activities?

Lower back pain is found in 1 of 3 persons, 1 of 3!

So you are not an anomaly.

What to do now?

Consult with your physician or physiotherapist on the way forward.

One of the most common complaints amongst patients is "back pain"

As physiotherapists, we promote not only treatment but also prevention. Exercise is one of the intergral methods of treatment and prevention of low back pain.

Consult a physiotherapist today. We will assess and prescribe the exercise most suitable for your condition.

It is BACK!!!!!!
