The back is the most common area of the body to experience pain, and it can stem from injury, posture or age related change. Whatever the cause, we begin with a careful assessment to establish what is driving your pain. For most people a clear management plan can be set up quickly so you know exactly what to do next.

Treatment options include spinal mobilisation, a gentle hands on technique used where the spine feels tight, along with soft tissue release and exercises to improve your strength, posture and flexibility. We also focus on preventative strategies such as ergonomic and posture advice so the problem is less likely to return.

Many people who come to us have lived with back pain for a long time and have already tried hands on treatment elsewhere without lasting relief. For these situations we offer an advanced core program run at our clinic by Physiofit Rehabilitation. These programs use specific exercises to improve posture and spinal control, and they ask for a real commitment from you, generally around thirty minutes of exercise a day at home. They can be done individually or, as a more affordable option, through a ten week weekly group program. If you are not sure whether we can help, call and have a chat with one of our physiotherapists first.

What to expect

We assess your back to find the likely cause of your pain, then explain your options in plain language. Treatment may combine gentle mobilisation, soft tissue work and a targeted exercise program. You will also receive posture and ergonomic advice to help prevent flare ups.

Who it is for

Anyone with lower back or spinal pain, whether recent or long standing. It is especially helpful for people whose pain has not settled with hands on treatment alone.

Common questions

Will you crack or manipulate my back?

We use gentle spinal mobilisation where appropriate, along with soft tissue work and exercise. Everything is explained beforehand and tailored to your comfort.

What is the advanced core program?

It is a structured exercise program run by Physiofit Rehabilitation that improves posture and spinal control. It suits people whose pain has not resolved with hands on care and can be done individually or in a group.

How much exercise will I need to do at home?

For the core programs, generally around thirty minutes a day. The home practice is essential to changing your spinal fitness and getting lasting results.

Do I need a scan for my back pain?

Not always. Many back problems improve without imaging. If your assessment suggests it is needed, we can help arrange it promptly.
