Back Pain | Physio-logical

Personalised Physiotherapy for Back Pain

Physiotherapy for back pain, sciatica, postural issues, muscle tension, osteoarthritis and spinal surgery rehab. Full assessments, hands- on treatment, and personalised exercise plans.

Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. It can develop suddenly after an injury or gradually over time due to postural habits, repetitive movements, or underlying spinal conditions. Back pain can limit your ability to work, exercise, sleep, and enjoy daily activities, but with the right assessment and treatment, it is manageable.

At our clinic, we specialise in identifying the root cause of your symptoms and providing personalised treatment plans to live a pain free lifestyle and restore, maintain and enhance your wellbeing and physical activity.

Common Back Pain Conditions We Treat

Back pain can present in many different ways, from mild stiffness and muscle tension to persistent pain caused by spinal or nerve-related conditions. Each type of back pain has its own underlying causes and requires a tailored approach to treatment.

Book A consultation

Sciatica

Pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often resulting in sharp, shooting pain into the buttock or leg.

Back Strain

Pain from overstretched or overloaded muscles and ligaments, commonly caused by lifting, sudden movements, or sports activities.

Postural Back Pain

Pain related to prolonged sitting, standing, or poor movement, often felt as stiffness, aching, or muscle fatigue.

Prehabilitation Before Spinal Surgery

Targeted physiotherapy to prepare your spine, core, and surrounding muscles before surgery, improving outcomes and recovery time.

Rehabilitation Following Spinal Surgery

Guided recovery including mobility work, strengthening, and manual therapy to restore confidence and function safely after surgery.

Arthritis / Degenerative Changes

Age-related changes such as osteoarthritis or wear-and-tear can cause stiffness, aching, inflammation, and reduced movement.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

A narrowing of the spinal canal in the back that can place pressure on nerves, leading to chronic pain, stiffness, or neurological symptoms.

Work-Related Back Pain

Pain linked to physical jobs, lifting tasks, desk-based work, or repetitive strain.

Muscle Tension and Spasm

Tight, overactive, or fatigued muscles that limit movement and cause aching, sharp pain, or stiffness.

Our Physiotherapy Approach to Back Pain

Our Physiotherapists or Sports Therapists specialise in identifying what’s causing your sciatica and providing targeted treatment to relieve pain and restore normal movement.

Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a full assessment to understand the cause of your back pain. This includes:

Detailed discussion about your symptoms
Strength, range of movement, and functional testing
Identification of contributing factors such as muscle imbalance, lifestyle, or work setup

This allows us to create a tailored treatment plan that targets your specific needs.

Hands-On Treatment

Our Physiotherapists or Sports Therapists use a range of proven manual therapy techniques, such as:

Soft tissue release
Joint mobilisation
Trigger point therapy
Myofascial release
Guided stretching

These methods help reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and support the healing process.

Exercise Rehabilitation

We provide personalised exercise programmes to restore strength, range of movement, and control. This may include:

Core and spinal stabilisation
Mobility exercises
Gradual return-to-work or return-to-sport programmes

Education & Self-Management

We ensure you understand how to manage your symptoms, help prevent flare-ups, and improve long-term back health.
