The Real Reason Your Pain Keeps Coming Back (It’s Not Age)
Apr 15, 2025
You stretched. You massaged. You rested. But the pain’s still there.
Sound familiar? Chronic pain isn’t just about tight muscles or bad luck — it’s often about compensation.
When one part of your body stops doing its job (say, your glutes), another part (like your lower back) picks up the slack. And over time? That part gets overworked, inflamed, and painful.
It’s not aging. It's misalignment.
Common signs of compensation:
Knee pain that starts from your hip
Neck tightness from weak core muscles
Back pain from stiff ankles (!)
What we, as physiotherapists do differently:
Assess movement patterns
Correct root dysfunction, not just symptoms
Restore pain-free movement through targeted rehab
Don’t settle for temporary relief. Let’s retrain, not just relieve.
