We aim to provide positive support for people suffering from back pain. From regular treatment to a structured programme that will help you work towards a healthier and pain free lifestyle, we are sure there is some way we can help you.

Whether you have an acute onset or persistent back pain, you may benefit from physiotherapy treatment. Before we start treating you we need to take a full history and assess your condition thoroughly, which is why we recommend a spinal assessment. These last for approximately 50 minutes to allow time for both assessment and treatment to take place.

Treatment may consist of manipulation, mobilisation of the joints and soft-tissue, acupuncture, soft-tissue massage, long-wave ultrasound and an exercise programme to help stabilise and strengthen your back.

Exercise for Back Pain

Research has shown that people who suffer with neck and back pain don’t use their deep stabilising muscles efficiently. By exercising and re-educating the deep postural stabilising muscles, you can help reduce pain and stiffness in the lumbo-pelvic area. These exercises also help to eliminate muscle imbalances found in the individual’s musculoskeletal systems.

These exercises are often carried out with equipment such as foam rollers, gym balls and other balance equipment.

Pilates classes will also help strengthen your stabilising muscles. Many of our ‘back’ patients move on to Pilates classes as part of their rehabilitation process.
