Yes, posture that prevent overstressing your back, injured or not, is important.
I might take a lot of heat from many people, including other physical therapists, for saying this but as humans, we are bound to slouch and have poor posture numerous times a day and it is not possible to maintain ideal posture 24 hours a day. I am saying that as a human. Now, as a physiotherapist... Tip #2: Bed rest and inactivity will not help your back pain. You need to be moving!
Although you cannot ignore your back pain and associated symptoms, you need to stay active and keep moving, trying to continue with your regular activities and if possible, exercise. Just be sure to not experience sharp shooting pain and you're not noticing an increase in your overall pain. If you also experience sharp shooting pain down your leg(s), notice numbness in your groin or notice a change in your bowel and bladder function or experience genital pain, you need to see a physician as soon as possible as it this could be an emergency. If your daily routine includes walking, light exercises and stretching, keep on doing these as long as they do not increase your back pain. If you are not already doing this, start with a short walk. For most cases of back pain, there is nothing better to do than a walk. Daily back stretches are a great way to start taking care of your back as well. Consult with a physio to find out the reason for your back symptoms. Greeting readers! For the next couple weeks, I will post one daily tip that might help you treat your acute or chronic back pain. My goal is to keep it short and to the point, with simple explanations.
