All of these interventions come with some pretty heavy risks and potential side effects. If you need help with exercise, motivation or even just some reassurance that what youre doing is safe, pay your physio a visit.

02.01.2022 Welcome to day seven of LBP #MythBusting, and to mark the occasion, were busting the myth that back pain is caused by poor #posture. #BUSTED!
