Yes absolutely
Yes. Studies have shown more movement in LBP due to OA and poor posture improves back pain. It’s important you work in core strength when increasing movement gradually to see better results.
First of all, there are bones, ligaments and muscles in your back . All above pathology can contribute pain generation. Physician evaluation is needed. I can’t provide medical diagnoses without examination.
Yes, PT will help with back pain.
Yes. If pain is limited to the back itself, physiotherapy usually is the first line of treatment in back pain. If the pain radiates to an arm or leg, or you have a history of cancer or other condition, you should check with your provider.
