July Wellness Focus: Back Pain Relief with Physiotherapy and Massage Therapy in NW Calgary
As summer gets into full swing in Calgary, many people find themselves more active — tackling outdoor projects, gardening, travelling, or playing recreational sports. But increased activity can sometimes mean more strain on your lower back and spine. If you’re one of the many Calgarians living with back pain, you’re not alone. The good news? Physiotherapy and massage therapy at Nolan Hill Physiotherapy and Massage Clinic can help you find relief, restore mobility, and get back to enjoying summer without discomfort.
We proudly serve the communities of Nolan Hill, Sage Hill, Beacon Hill, Evanston, Citadel, Hamptons, Royal Oak, Glacier Ridge, Panorama, Carrington, Livingston, Kincora, and Sherwood, bringing expert care to NW Calgary.
Why Back Pain is So Common in the Summer
When the weather warms up, many of us take on activities that our bodies might not be used to — from lifting heavy garden bags and DIY projects to extended road trips and camping. These sudden increases in bending, twisting, or sitting can overload muscles and joints in your back.
Common causes of summer back pain include:
● Poor lifting mechanics when gardening or moving patio furniture
● Long hours of sitting while driving or travelling
● Sports like golf, tennis, or cycling without proper warm-ups
● Old injuries flaring up with increased activity
Ignoring these aches and pains can lead to chronic discomfort or limited mobility later in the season.
How Physiotherapy Helps Relieve Back Pain:
A personalized physiotherapy program addresses both the cause and the symptoms of your back pain. At Nolan Hill Physiotherapy and Massage Clinic, your physiotherapist will:
● Perform a thorough assessment of your posture, flexibility, and strength
● Identify muscle imbalances or joint restrictions contributing to your pain
● Use manual therapy and joint mobilization to reduce stiffness
● Prescribe safe exercises to strengthen your core and protect your spine
● Teach you movement strategies to prevent future back pain flare-ups
Whether you’re dealing with sciatica, muscle strain, or postural back pain, our evidence-based approach will help you move better and recover faster.
