In response to this year's World PT Day theme of low back pain, the Macau Physical Therapists Association (MPTA) organised a special workshop titled "Self-Care for Low Back Pain" on September 8, 2024. The event featured various interactive components dedicated to empowering participants with practical skills and knowledge to prevent or manage their back pain effectively.
During the workshop, physiotherapists from MPTA provided an intriguing introduction to the myths and facts surrounding low back pain, helping participants distinguish between common misconceptions and evidence-based information. Well-designed movement tests were conducted to enhance awareness of early signs of compromised low back health, encouraging prompt attention and intervention. Additionally, the workshop included educational sessions to improve attendees' understanding of back health and easy exercises to maintain and improve back mobility. The workshop was greatly appreciated, as evidenced by enthusiastic feedback from the participants.
