Low back pain is complicated.
You cannot completely prevent it. We are all complex machines living stressful, busy lives.
But there are risk factors we CAN improve - keep reading.
1ļøā£ Stop avoiding movement
Your spine is designed to move. Bending, lifting, rotating and being active are normal human movements. Avoiding movement completely often makes you weaker, stiffer and more sensitive in certain positions.
2ļøā£ Exercise regularly
Movement is medicine. Walking, running, swimming, cycling, Pilates, strength training, it all helps. Your body responds well to variation and consistency. Aim for 45ā60 minutes of movement most days.
3ļøā£ Improve your sleep
Scrolling on your phone until midnight is not helping your recovery. Poor sleep affects pain, recovery, stress levels and energy. Build a better evening routine and give your body time to recover.
4ļøā£ Manage stress and anxiety
Your nervous system is running 24/7. High stress levels can increase muscle tension, pain sensitivity and fatigue. Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises, exercise, time outdoors and slowing down can genuinely help calm the system.
5ļøā£ Stop smoking and clean up your nutrition
Processed foods
Smoking and poor nutrition negatively impact recovery, inflammation, energy levels and overall health. Your body works better when you fuel it properly.
Low back pain is rarely caused by one single thing. Usually it is a combination of lifestyle, stress, recovery, movement habits and overall health.
If you are struggling with persistent low back pain, stiffness or recurring flare-ups, it may be time to start looking at the bigger picture - not just the symptoms.
I help people move better, feel stronger and build resilience through hands-on treatment, rehab and education.
Things will only change if you are ready and motivated to change?

Back pain can be relentless⦠that constant tightness, stiffness, or dull ache that just wonāt shift.
One technique I use with clients to help relieve this is dry cupping.
By creating suction on the skin, cupping helps lift and decompress the tissues underneath. This can improve blood flow, reduce muscle tension, and give the area a chance to reset, especially when your back feels locked up or overworked.
Itās not about quick fixes, itās about giving your body the right environment to recover and move better.
Some people feel immediate relief, others notice it over the next 24ā48 hours⦠but nearly everyone walks away feeling looser.
If your backās been giving you grief lately, it might be time to try something different.
Drop me a message to book in, letās get you moving properly again.

Making a difference to peopleās lives, thatās why Primal Movements exists.
Hereās a little about Mattš
When I first met Matt last year, he was struggling significantly with low back pain. Heād tried everything, physiotherapists, chiropractors, manual therapists - before noticing I was offering appointments at Fleet Town FC.
He was in pain driving, emptying the dishwasher, bending over⦠and couldnāt do the basic things many of us take for granted, like playing football with his kids. It was starting to take a real toll on his wellbeing.
Since then, Matt has booked in regularly for maintenance. Like most people, he still picks up the odd ni**le, but nothing we canāt fix.
Seeing the smile on his face when he leaves the clinic pain free never gets old.
I genuinely appreciate him trusting in me and allowing me to be part of his recovery journey. This is exactly why I do what I do.
If you or someone you know is struggling with pain - reach out. You donāt have to just ālive with it.ā

Your lower back has been whispering for weeks and now itās shouting.
Often the root cause isnāt the back at all, itās the glutes gripping on to muscles like theyāre guarding treasure.
Dry needling and deep glute work free the tension and calm the whole chain.
There is no need to struggle, Primal Movements can help.
Message to get booked in for December

Faith had been living with constant, debilitating neck pain that was starting to have a serious impact on her daily life and movement.
As both a dancer and PT, she needs to move freely and without pain.
She travelled over 90 minutes to see us, and after a thorough assessment and targeted treatment, we got her moving pain-free again, back to doing what she loves.
At Primal Movements, we donāt just treat pain, we get results.
