Lower Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most frequent reasons people seek physiotherapy and can affect individuals of all ages and activity levels. At The Physio Group, we specialise in diagnosing and treating both acute and persistent low back pain using evidence-based physiotherapy.

Pain may begin after lifting, sport, prolonged sitting, or may develop gradually over time. Symptoms commonly include stiffness, muscle spasm, reduced mobility, or pain spreading into the buttock or leg. Some patients experience recurring flare-ups that limit exercise, work, or sleep.

Our experienced physiotherapists carry out a thorough assessment to determine the true source of pain rather than simply treating symptoms. Treatment may involve hands-on physiotherapy, spinal mobilisation, movement retraining, strengthening exercises, and education to improve long-term spinal health.

Using our Reduce, Restore, Return pathway, we focus on settling pain, restoring strength and flexibility, and guiding a confident return to normal activity. Early physiotherapy intervention can significantly speed recovery and help prevent future episodes of back pain.
