The Final Step of Low Back Rehab, Load Management! | Episode 15

Dr. Grant Elliott with RehabFix Online Low Back Program: Load management is a crucial component to not only low back rehab, but any rehabilitative program for any injury type! This is often a missing step in most rehab programs and a misunderstanding of these principles can lead to re-injury, flare-ups, and early termination of a rehab program due to frustration or confusion. If individuals with low back pain are not gradually exposed to loads again, but rather are mislead to believe the only component that matters is the presence of pain, then they will certainly find failure in their rehab approach. When the pain is gone is when the real rehab begins! The final step to low back rehab is a structured progression into sport/exercise in a way that allows the body to slowly adapt at the right pace to avoid flare-ups and injury. If this step is rushed, or totally missing in most cases, you will not experience long-term relief. I cannot emphasize enough how important this is and I hope you listen closely to the examples provided!
