What can I do myself to get better – now and in the future

There are some simple strategies you can use to manage your symptoms.

  • Keep moving & exercise. Remain active as much as possible even if you are uncomfortable. This won’t harm your back and you can expect to get better more quickly. Stay positive and keep going out to do the things that you enjoy if at all possible.
  • Most exercise is good exercise. Walking is particularly helpful, back exercises, more general exercise such as pilates or swimming can be helpful.
