Active Rehabilitation (Graded Exercise)
for Back Pain - Chronic
Graded exercise rehabilitation is the most evidence-based treatment for chronic back pain — progressively increasing activity to restore function and reduce pain, despite initial discomfort.
How it works
Addresses deconditioning, fear-avoidance behaviour, and central sensitisation that perpetuate chronic back pain. Restores normal movement patterns and reduces the threat value of pain through progressive loading.
What to watch for
Supervised by physiotherapist initially. Key principle: unlike acute pain, chronic back pain does not mean tissue damage is ongoing — activity is safe and therapeutic. Avoid complete rest.
