Low-Back Pain

Low-back pain can make sitting, standing, and moving uncomfortable. Physiotherapy targets the cause to relieve pain and rebuild strength. Whether your pain came on suddenly or has built up gradually, our approach focuses on understanding your specific movement pattern rather than offering a one-size-fits-all fix.

Understanding Low-Back Pain

Low-back pain often develops from weak core muscles, disc issues, or repetitive strain from lifting and bending.

We assess your movement patterns and core strength to relieve pain and prevent it from recurring.

We assess how you bend, lift, and hold posture throughout the day, since low-back pain is often tied to habitual movement patterns that place repeated, avoidable strain on the spine.

Stiffness when bending or straightening
Pain after prolonged sitting
Discomfort while lifting
Reduced lower-back mobility

What Could Be Causing Your Low-Back Pain?

Understanding the root cause is the first step toward lasting relief.

Improper Lifting

Lifting with poor technique places excessive strain on the lower back. Correcting lifting mechanics is often one of the fastest ways to reduce recurring strain.

Prolonged Sitting

Sitting for long hours weakens the core muscles that support the spine. Even strong muscles elsewhere can't fully compensate for a weak, underused core.

Weak Core Muscles

A weak core shifts more load onto the lower back during daily movement. A stronger core takes pressure off the spine during everyday movement, not just exercise.

Disc-Related Strain

Wear or strain on the spinal discs is a common contributor to low-back pain. Addressing disc-related strain early can prevent it from progressing further.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an MRI before starting physiotherapy?

Not usually. Most low-back pain can be assessed and safely treated through a clinical examination first. Imaging is reserved for specific cases your physiotherapist will identify.

Is bed rest good for low-back pain?

No — prolonged bed rest can actually slow recovery. Gentle, guided movement is generally more effective for most types of low-back pain.

Can this pain come back after treatment?

It can, especially if underlying weakness or movement habits aren't addressed. That's why we focus on long-term strength and movement correction, not just short-term relief.
