Of course as equestrians we participate in higher risk activities than the everyday person. As riders we assume risk of injury every time we spend time on or around our horses. There’s a lot that can go wrong in riding to cause injury, low back pain included.
Many riders who see me about their back pain relay grand tales of falls that began it all, with the residual back pain ebbing and flowing in severity over the months and years that followed the original accident. This is actually where my own personal journey began with back pain. At the age of 16 while riding a young horse. The girth had loosened a bit through the warm up and while the saddle began to slip slightly to the side this young mare took off bucking. I was thrown into the arena wall before hitting the ground. While I walked away from this event, I spent the next few days stuck to a couch due to severe hip and low back pain and ceasing.
.....
It still took a couple years for my back pain to decrease from a flare up every few months, to maybe once a year, to only after a fall or other trauma, to very rarely at all. At the same time every time I did have a flare up it became a less and less significant part of my life. As I progressed through my own formal education and became a practicing therapist in my own right, my relationship with pain shifted. I still experienced pain, injuries, and set backs. I still experienced emotional upsets related to the physical aspects of injuries and pain. After a fall that fractured my leg and caused nerve damage that followed me for years - I once again went through the dark side of injury healing, relationships with pain, and communicating with the body and mind.
Pain, especially low back pain, takes a toll on us. Those I meet who have dealt with it for years can see it as part of their identity. I know I did, for a time. When something because a core part of our stories in life, it can add to the complexity of resolving the issue. Just because something is obviously uncomfortable to us doesn’t mean that it hasn’t become a comfort zone.
