What it involves
The lumbar spine is made up of the vertebrae of the lower back, heavily stressed by sitting, lifting and repeated movements. Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for consultation.
After assessment, the professional may suggest mobility and strengthening exercises, manual techniques and advice on everyday movements and lifting.
Who is it for?
- People with lower back pain, on medical advice
How treatment generally works
- Book by phone, stating the reason for your visit and, if applicable, whether you have a prescription.
- First appointment: discussion about your situation and assessment by the professional.
- Sessions adapted to your situation, with explanations at every step.
- Monitoring of your progress and adjustment of treatment, in liaison with your doctor if needed.
Frequently asked questions
Should I rest when I have back pain?
Only the health professional treating you can advise you according to your situation. Current recommendations generally favour staying suitably active rather than prolonged rest, unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Do I need a prescription?
It depends on your situation and your cover (AMO, CMIM, mutual insurance, private insurance). Check with your doctor and your insurer, and ask the centre when booking.
