Low back pain is a common condition that affects many individuals. It can arise from various causes, including muscle strain, poor posture, or underlying medical conditions. Effective treatment often involves a combination of therapies to address both the symptoms and root causes of the pain.
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing low back pain. Our approach includes personalized exercises, manual therapy, and lifestyle advice to help reduce pain, improve function, and prevent future episodes.
Corrective exercises are essential for treating low back pain because they target the specific muscles and structures involved. By improving muscle strength, flexibility, and posture, these exercises can help alleviate pain, reduce the risk of injury, and enhance overall spinal health.

Here are some common questions we receive about low back pain and our treatments:
Low back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, herniated discs, or underlying conditions such as arthritis. Activities that put excessive stress on the back, such as heavy lifting or prolonged sitting, can also contribute to pain.
Physiotherapy can help manage low back pain through a combination of techniques, including targeted exercises to strengthen and stabilize the back, manual therapy to relieve muscle tension, and education on proper posture and body mechanics.
The time it takes to see results from physiotherapy can vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual's commitment to the treatment plan. Many patients begin to notice improvements within a few weeks, but full recovery may take several months.
During your first physiotherapy session, your therapist will conduct a thorough assessment, including discussing your medical history and current symptoms. They will then develop a personalized treatment plan and may begin with some initial exercises or manual therapy.
