Assessment focus
What the evaluation looks for
Load tolerance
Back pain often changes with walking, lifting, training volume, and how quickly activity has progressed.
Daily activity and performance demands
Work, walking, lifting, training, running, and golf all place different demands on the back and should shape the plan.
Overview
What to know
Care focuses on understanding how mobility, strength, loading, and movement demands contribute to your symptoms and your return to activity.
That means the goal is not just to quiet symptoms. It is to help you move, work, train, and play with more confidence by improving the factors that keep irritating the area.
