Does a strength and flexibility exercise program reduce back pain in nursing?

“I work in nursing and I have a bad back!” Yes, I hear this a lot! So, if you ask me my opinion I would say if you have a physically demanding job then you should train for that demand.

Online Physiotherapy

Put simply this is Physio done via either telephone or video over the internet. Skype and facetime are examples of this.

Contrary to popular belief online physiotherapy can be very effective and it can help the same injuries that face to face physio can help. I have helped many people with injuries such as disc prolapses, tennis elbow, neck pain and much more).
