First of all, let’s see how your back reacts. Your back will react negatively if:

• It is beyond its capabilities;
• You take on too much;
• There is a lack of support;
• You push or pull it too hard;
• What lifted is too heavy (no more than 10% of our weight!);
• It remains too long in one position or an uncomfortable situation;
• Posture is not correct;
• The bed is too soft or too hard;
• The position during sleep is not adequate (ideally on the side, knees bent and a pillow between your legs and another to support the neck, if you sleep on the back, pillows under the knees and lower back);
• The workplace is inappropriate (a chair that swivels on its base to prevent twisting, tilting, plus the footrest that helps to reduce tension in the lumbar area).

In this enumeration, physiological and psychological dimensions are encompassed. Therapists who are interested in back health are chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, physiotherapists, etc.

Resolve Psychological Conflicts

The osteopath who works on a physical restriction may act on two painful nodes in the same time, helping the patient release emotion, stress or discomfort inside. Besides, when the physical and emotional pain is processed at the same time, there is healing in patients whose physical mobility was limited and pain was incapacitating them. We see how thoughts and emotions have a major impact on their backs. Therefore, in my opinion, it does not help when it deals only with physical symptoms. And this is where conventional medicine fails.
