Back Pain
Physiotherapy is a valuable treatment option for individuals suffering from back pain. Back pain is a common ailment that can be caused by various factors such as muscle strain, poor posture, herniated discs, or underlying medical conditions. Physiotherapy aims to alleviate pain, restore function, and improve quality of life through a combination of manual therapy techniques, exercise programs, and patient education.
One of the primary goals of physiotherapy for back pain is to strengthen the muscles that support the spine. This can help improve posture, reduce strain on the back, and prevent future injuries. Physiotherapists also use hands-on techniques like massage, joint mobilisation, and spinal manipulation to relieve pain and improve mobility.
In addition to these treatments, physiotherapists may recommend specific exercises and stretches to improve flexibility and range of motion. They may also provide guidance on ergonomic modifications and lifestyle changes that can help prevent further back pain.
The effectiveness of physiotherapy in treating back pain has been supported by numerous studies. It is a non-invasive and drug-free approach that focuses on addressing the root cause of the pain rather than just masking the symptoms. By working closely with a physiotherapist, individuals with back pain can experience long-term relief and improved functioning.

"Cannot recommend the clinic highly enough. Nick treated my daughter after knee surgery. Hugely thorough, knowledgeable and caring. There are physio teams and physio teams.... This is the best I've experienced in years."
"Nick helped me after I started experiencing pain in my hip/leg from weightlifting. He not only identified and guided me through fixing the problem, but has also given me a great deal of valuable advice for my training. Very happy with the results, would definitely recommend."
This is probably the best physio practice I've been to. I've been to other 'professional' physios that provide treatment for the sake of appearing to do something. The first session is generally a consultation to examine the issues. The ongoing advice and treatment is fantastic."
