5 l Lower Back Pain Spasms: What To Do When Your Muscles Lock Up
Episode: Lower Back Pain Spasms: What To Do When Your Muscles Lock Up
Host: Dipti Patel, PT, Certified Nutritionist, Personal Trainer & Yoga Teacher
Ever had your lower back suddenly lock up with a painful spasm and wondered, “Why is this happening to me?” Or maybe you grabbed a foam roller or a massage gun and hoped the pain would magically disappear—but it didn’t.
In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly what your back spasms are really telling you, and most importantly, what you can do about them. No fluff, no gimmicks—just actionable strategies you can start using today.
Here’s what we cover:
- Why your back spasms aren’t your enemy—they’re your body trying to protect you.
- How to calm the spasm and down-regulate your nervous system without relying on tools or massages.
- Simple, gentle movements and breathing techniques that signal your muscles to relax.
- How to identify the root cause—core, hips, or upper back restrictions—and fix it before it flares again.
- Why small daily actions are far more powerful than one-off fixes.
PLUS, I’ll tell you about my Strong and Pain-Free Back program—designed specifically for women 35-50 to build strength, mobility, and a pain-free body in 3 live classes per week.
