Back Pain
Assessment and rehab for lower and mid-back discomfort affecting daily activity.
Overview
Back pain is common and often improves with guided movement, load management and education. Persistent or severe patterns need proper assessment.
Who may seek help
People with mechanical back discomfort, stiffness after sitting/standing, or recurring episodes affecting work and sleep.
How physiotherapy may help
Screening for red flags, movement assessment, and a plan combining exercise, education and activity pacing.
When to seek urgent care
Sudden severe symptoms, unexplained neurological changes, chest pain, or trauma with red-flag signs need emergency / medical services — not a website booking form.
FAQs
Should I rest completely?
Prolonged bed rest is rarely ideal. Guided activity usually helps more — your physiotherapist will advise what is suitable.
When is back pain an emergency?
Sudden bowel/bladder changes, progressive leg weakness, unexplained fever with severe pain, or trauma with red flags need urgent medical care.
