Chronic LBP (CLBP) is one common injury. CLBP is long standing back ache. It can be a mild generalized ache to a more severe pain often on movement, but can also hurt while sitting or lying in bed. In my experience as a Physiotherapist often is a result of yes, Osteoarthritis, degeneration, restricted muscles and joints. Physiotherapy, can assist. You may have heard that it is just age and nothing you can do about it, but although not a cure, I have assisted numerous patients with getting a physiotherapy diagnosis, education, stretching or strengthening exercises, posture education, manual therapy, taping, and most of all have provided clients with some relief in their signs or symptoms. Many clients have told me, just understanding what they have can be of assistance in their rehabilitation.
