Session Update/Explainer

Dear Sarah Miller, Good to see you again, “It was great to hear about your progress with the exercises – keep up the good work!” Here is a run down of what we discussed today. 1. Lower Back Pain During our discussion, we talked about your lower back pain. This means you are experiencing discomfort and stiffness in the lumbar region. It is important to continue with the core strengthening exercises we discussed and to maintain good posture. You should also avoid prolonged sitting and consider using a lumbar support cushion. 2. Exercise Plan Adherence Another key point we covered was your adherence to the exercise plan. This relates to how consistently you are performing the exercises we prescribed. You may notice improvements in your pain levels and mobility if you stick to the plan and should consider increasing the intensity of the exercises as you get stronger. 3. Return to Sport We also discussed your goal of returning to playing netball. To address this, we discussed a gradual return-to-sport plan, including specific exercises to build strength and stability, and a timeline for increasing activity. Include any specific recommendations for actions or observations. Next Steps: Please remember to continue with your exercises as prescribed and to gradually increase the intensity. Schedule your follow-up appointment in two weeks to assess your progress. If anything we covered today isn’t clear, or if any questions come to mind afterwards, please feel free to get in touch. Warm regards, Chris
