Physiotherapy for Back Pain
Back pain is very common and can affect everything from work and sleep to exercise and day-to-day life. From a recent episode (acute) to a long standing issue (chronic), getting the correct treatment can help to reduce pain, improve movement and enhance strength.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
Treatment can help by:
- Easing pain and stiffness through hands-on treatment and gentle movement
- Helping you move more freely so everyday tasks feel easier
- Building strength resilience to reduce the likelihood of it reoccuring
- Showing you simple changes you can make at home or work to help manage symptoms
What It’s Like to Have Treatment
Your first session starts with a conversation about what’s been going on and how it’s affecting you. You’ll be checked thoroughly and then given a clear plan so you know exactly what you’re working towards.
Your treatment might include:
- Simple, targeted exercises to improve movement and strength
- Hands-on treatment to help loosen tight or painful areas
- Clear advice on posture, lifting and day-to-day habits
- Easy-to-follow home exercises so you stay in control of your recovery
