There is no such thing as non-specific low back pain, only inadequate assessment and understanding of lumbar spine injury mechanisms. “Back pain”, “sciatica” and “degenerative disc disease” are not an accurate diagnosis. Functional Low Back Rehab is the best low back pain treatment program because we will find the real cause behind low back pain and develop a rehabilitation program that will enable you to get back to life, pain free.
causes of low back pain
Flexion-related back pain
Flexion-related back pain is the most common form of lower back injury. Disc bulges can cause back pain by themselves, or lead to other conditions such as sciatica and stenosis.
Extension-related back pain
Extension-related back pain is more common in athletic people and tradesman than the general population. Gymnasts, cricketers and weightlifters are the most likely people to develop this condition.
Compressive back pain
Compression-related back pain is more common than generally thought. It is related to occupations with dynamic loading, such as forklift and delivery drivers, and weightlifting type activities.
Shear Intolerance
Shear intolerance often occurs in conjunction with other types of back pain. Weakness of the posterior spinal muscles allows micro lumbar movements when bending, pushing, reaching or lifting.
Load Intolerance
Load intolerance often results from attempting a new activity, or returning from injury, too soon. It often occurs in combination with instability-related issues where a lack of strength irritates structures.
Sciatica/Stenosis
Sciatica and stenosis are not a precise diagnosis. There are various reasons why someone may experience this type of dysfunction, hence accurate assessment is vital.
It's Time to get your life back
Around 60% of people who injure their back have one or more severe recurrences within the first twelve months. This is because you are treating the symptoms, and not the underlying cause.
All biological tissue has fatigue and load capacity. Flawed movement patterns, mobility restrictions, muscle weakness and poor motor patterns are all factors which overload the passive structures of the spine – discs, ligaments, cartilage and bone – and cause injury.
Rehabilitation focuses on identifying specific impairments and then improving function and capacity through exercise, so you can get back to life. Functional Low Back Rehab is the best low back pain treatment program if you want permanent results.

isn't forever
the process
The way you get out of a chair, bend to put on and tie shoes, sit at home and work, pick things up, even the manner in which you open doors, brush your teeth and put things in the dishwasher, can all be modified to preserve spine capacity.
A thorough assessment will reveal the postures, motions, loads, movement and motor patterns, muscle weakness and mobility restrictions that rob capacity and lead to pain and dysfunction. A comprehensive rehabilitation plan based on your goals aims to firstly remove the cause of your low pain, and then restore capacity so you get back to life.
That’s the simple reason Functional Low Back Rehab is the best low back pain treatment program available.
news and articles on low back pain treatment
Does lifting technique matter? Yes. However, depending upon the object, individual mobility and strength, there are several methods to safely lift things from the floor or ground that minimize stress on the lumbar spine.
Does posture matter? Generally, yes. Poor posture - however that is defined - leads to a gradual deterioration in the quality of the lumbar spine tissues, which lowers their failure threshold.
Weak gluteal function may be a contributing factor to your lower back pain. Why? The reason is actually simple. If our glutes are weak, then the lumbar spine has to compensate to extend the hip.
Generally, there is no such thing as one best exercise. Exercise selection is based on current capacity and overall goals. But if there was just one exercise people should master...

ABOUT US
Mark is a musculoskeletal therapist with more than ten years’ experience. He has worked for AFL clubs, with professional tennis players and golfers, state league hockey and soccer teams and multiple triathletes.
Mark has spent over five thousand hours of professional development on lumbar spine injury mechanisms, assessment and rehabilitation, with Australia, and the world’s, leading researchers and rehabilitation experts, including Professor Stuart McGill, Dr Andrew Lock, Australian strength coach Sebastian Oreb, and Queensland-based spinal neurosurgeon Mr David Johsnon.
I injured my back in 1991 sparring in karate, and managed it well until 2007, when a lengthy layoff from training due to arm surgery resulted in constant back pain for the next two years.
I saw over 20 therapists, who all gave me a different diagnosis, until I discovered Professor Stuart McGill, and began my recovery. Since then, I have been on several golf trips within Australaia and overseas without issue, and can deadlift more weight than I could 25 years ago without issue.
