Low back pain
Summary
The Lower back, which starts below the rib cage, is called the lumbar region. Symptoms of low back pain range from a dull ache to a stabbing or shooting sensation. The pain may make it hard to move or stand up straight. Acute low back pain comes on suddenly, and pain that lasts more than three months is considered chronic.
Cause
Low back pain was thought to result primarily from structural disorders, such as herniated discs. While that may occur in some cases, many low back pain complaints are a result of poor lifestyle, and impairment/tension of the fascia that allows for movement of the spine. The low back can be a weak point in the spine if the surrounding muscles and fascia are not properly supported and strengthened.
-job
-backpack/purse
-workout
-posture
-sitting for long periods of time
-weak abdominal muscles
-muscles or ligament strain
-standing with hips forward causing compression through low back pain

These are all causes of low back pain
Effects
The lumbar spine is a key stabilizer in the body. If stability is lost pain maybe be felt throughout the entire body.
-Difficulty working
-painful to stand from a sitting position
-trouble sleeping
-radiation pain up to shoulders or down into the legs
-loss of range of motion through hips due to pain

I am a 62 year old female. For several years, I have become less flexible and stiff. I was introduced to Structura and finished the 10 weekly sessions of Structural Integration. They are very professional and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Structura Body Therapies’ therapy.

I’ve been able to get my life back thanks to the therapists at Structura. Taylor and Skye were amazing at listening and critically thinking. They were both very professional. I had dealt with 1.5 years of debilitating pain in my lower back and shooting pain down my legs. After physical therapy, multiple steroid shots, and mediations to deal with the pain I heard about Structura. Thanks to these amazing people I can sleep through the night, enjoy activities I love, and play with my kids. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing more than a relaxing massage.

Structura has truly helped me so much! It was a long road to recovery, but I skipped the surgeries and was able to naturally heal over time. I continue to go on a regular basis for maintenance now. This is an amazing way to stay in top performance and learn about mobility and movement.

I felt so good after each of the 10 sessions of Structural Integration. Parts of my body that bothered me before the session felt so much better after being worked on. My knees that hurt before, didn’t bother me after being worked on.
Kellie from Hooper, UT Testimonial
I am running again! Less than a year ago, I had a doctor, physical therapist, and a chiropractor all tell me I needed to stop running because of constant back and neck pain, along with ankle and groin injuries. Well, they were wrong! Because of Stuctura Body Therapies, in the last 2 months, I have ran a half marathon, a 5K, and I am continuing to run 3 times a week. The 10-week Structural Integration program, and continued maintenance, have been a true blessing for me. The therapists and staff at Structura are the best, and are professional and caring. So grateful to have found this amazing technique.
J. Sanchez from Clearfield, UT Testimonial
I was introduced to Structura Body Therapies by a family member. I have suffered from chronic pain for the past 9 years and the source of the pain was finally diagnosed. I started coming to Structura to see how their therapies could help me before, between, and after the two hip surgeries I would need to correct the source of my pain. I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the results of the therapy thus far! I recently had the first surgery and the therapies from Structura Body Therapies have cut my healing time by 4 weeks! I am looking very forward to completing my next surgery and then starting the Structural Integration program with Structura.
Pamela from Utah Testimonial
I was afraid to try Structura because I heard the therapy might be painful. But it was going into months and months with plantar fasciitis and not being able to walk without limping and waddling. That was painful too. Through the therapy sessions, I found that I was twisted and seized up all over. I’m not sure when the fasciitis actually completely healed, but it did 100%. The therapy was a little painful, but nothing like the pain of months of fasciitis and years of waddling. At 58 years old, I can finally move my legs again so I can walk normally and start exercising.

Kaylee from North Ogden, UT Testimonial
I was experiencing a lot of knee pain after having surgery for a torn ACL. Months of physical therapy and a 2nd knee surgery didn’t help the pain and issues I was having. I was ready to just live with the pain but I decided to give Structura’s therapy a try. It has helped my knee tremendously! My knee pain is gone and my range of motion is back! So happy I found this therapy! If you are experiencing pain that your doctors can’t figure out, I would highly recommend Structura’s therapy!
