Back pain is the symptom, and the key to eliminating it is to find the cause. An assessment will reveal what that mechanism is. Part of the assessment involves pattern recognition to figure out what makes your pain worse and what makes it feel better. I suggest you make a list with these two columns. What movements, postures and loads are triggering your back pain? What movements, postures or loads are pain-free? You can then start to see the patterns emerging of what could be keeping you sensitized and in pain.
