Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy, and one of the most misunderstood. It is rarely caused by a single factor. Poor posture, muscle weakness, stress, sedentary lifestyles, sports injuries and underlying health conditions can all contribute to discomfort and reduced mobility.
Looking beyond the painful area
A thorough physiotherapy assessment considers movement, strength, mobility, function, lifestyle and work, not just the spot that hurts. Understanding what is contributing to your symptoms is the first step towards a plan that lasts.
What an integrated plan can include
- Physiotherapy assessment and treatment to improve mobility, strength, posture and movement patterns
- Personalised exercise and rehabilitation for recovery and long-term prevention
- Ayurvedic consultation to identify lifestyle factors contributing to pain and inflammation
- Yoga therapy for flexibility, core stability and mind-body awareness
- Sports massage and soft-tissue therapy to release tight muscles
- Stress management, recognising the important link between stress and chronic pain
Moving towards long-term spinal health
