Understanding your back

Low back pain is a common issue caused by modern lifestyles, rarely due to serious

injury. Low back pain can range from mild or severe and may be acute (short-term) or

chronic (lasting over 3 months). Through individualised assessment of your joint range

of motion, muscle strength, joint and disc integrity, our physiotherapists will treat your

symptoms while addressing the root cause of back pain.

We are experts in treating acute and chronic back pain, conditions, and dysfunction due

to muscular spasms, joint restrictions, disc pathology, post spinal surgery and whiplash.

We provide a number of treatment options such as:

- Education to improve your understanding and allow you to move forward with

your back pain

- Manual therapy (soft tissue release, joint mobilisations)

- Dry needling

- Exercise therapy including strengthening, gentle stretching, and regular general

exercise (walking, cycling, swimming, etc.)

- Clinical pilates to prevent future episodes

- Overall health (stress, fear, sleep quality, and weight management)

- Advice to return to work, sports, daily activities

Long term management we aim to:

- Reduce pain

- Restore normal function

- Improve posture

- Improve balance of core strength and flexibility

- Optimise work ergonomics

- Get you back to the things you enjoy most
