The Back Practice

February in Belfast isn’t kind to your spine.

Cold 🥶 temperatures cause muscles to tighten. Blood flow reduces. You move less. And without realising it, you become stiffer day by day.

When muscles around the lumbar spine lose elasticity, the small spinal joints stop gliding properly. That’s when people describe:
• “A dull ache across my belt line”
• “Stiffness getting out of the car”
• “Pain first thing in the morning”
• “It loosens once I move”

That’s not usually a disc problem. It’s loss of normal joint mobility.

At The Back Practice, we focus on restoring segmental movement and elasticity of the spinal tissues, not just stretching you for five minutes and sending you home.

If your back feels worse in winter, it’s not age.
It’s mechanics.

Don’t ignore stiffness now and wait until spring when it becomes a flare-up.
