EXERCISE FOR POST-MENOPAUSAL WOMEN

For post-menopausal women it’s even more important to keep exercising. In the latest|a new study of post-menopausal women with vertebral fractures, spinal pain, back extensor muscle strength, trunk-arm endurance, kyphosis, functional mobility, and quality of life all recover with exercise, particularly a supervised rather than a home-based exercise plan. (1) Would you agree with Dr. Butwell that if there is supervision, the exercise is more likely to be done and done the right way? We all need a little extra prompting to do what we should sometimes. Dr. Butwell does that for our Georgetown back pain patients!

EXERCISE FOR ALL BACK PAIN SUFFERERS

No matter their age, Georgetown back pain patients benefit from exercise. Reviewers of the exercise-for-back-pain-relief medical literature give in to the published data and propose that patients perform exercises they like and can do easily. Research’s best-evidence on rehabilitation for chronic low back pain states that spinal manipulation and pain neuroscience education missed with exercise with or without psychological therapy is advantageous. Including the psychological component to exercise seems to deliver better outcomes that are more enduring. (2) It’s never a bad idea|It never hurts to reach out for help with the emotional aspect of back pain and neck pain. Dr. Butwell values the opportunity to guide back pain patients to find the care they desire.
