Management of acute injuries
It is usually best to rest, apply ice and elevate and compress the body part if possible after injury. Peter will assess a new injury to determine which tissues are injured and plan for the best treatment approach.
If you have injured your lower back Peter will show you helpful positioning techniques and introduce gentle exercises. It is important to recognise that most acute injuries resolve by themselves as the body's healing process takes place. Identifying what has happened, and the need for possible medical review and/or scanning, will help give peace of mind and allow you to recover without unnecessary anxiety.
