Nordic pole walking

Click image to view products
Nordic Walking uses specially designed poles – not to be confused with trekking poles – to enhance your natural walking experience. With a technique that is similar to the upper body action of classic cross-country skiing, Nordic Walking is a genuinely whole body exercise that can be enjoyed at many levels, at low, medium or high intensity. 
For those with persistent back pain, slightly flex forward your back posture to open up the space in your spine, this will help improve walking intensity. 
  • Burn around 20% more calories compared to walking without poles.
  • Release tension in your neck and shoulders.
  • Improve your posture and gait.
  • Strengthen your back and abdominal muscles.
  • Reduce the impact on your joints.

Back support

A Back Brace Belt has been manufactured and designed to help patients with chronic back pain, herniated disc, muscle spasm and weak lower back problems to provide the support needed to function during daily activity.

It is important to note that back supports need to be used alongside a strengthening programme for your core. See here for pilates. Do not leave yourself dependent on this device.
Please make sure you measure your waistline accurately and follow the fitting instructions.
Any new device will take time to get used to, so each day increase your use by 2 hours.

 

1. Degenerative lumbar spine
2. Osteoporosis of spine
3. Herniated disc
4. Annular tear of disc
5. Recent spinal surgery
6. Disciitis

TENS Transcutaneous Electrical Stimulation

Click image to view products
A TENS machine is a small, battery-operated device that has leads connected to sticky pads called electrodes. You attach the pads directly to your skin. When the machine is switched on, small electrical impulses are delivered to the affected area of your body, which you feel as a tingling sensation.
The electrical impulses can reduce the pain signals going to the spinal cord and brain, which may help relieve pain and relax muscles. They may also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkillers.
