Home / Conditions / Back pain
The most common reason people see a physiotherapist — and one of the most treatable.
Most low back pain is mechanical: it comes from the muscles, joints and discs of the spine rather than anything sinister, and the large majority settles with the right movement and load. Pain that's severe, spreading down a leg, or linked to numbness or bladder changes needs prompt assessment.
We work out what's driving your pain, give you hands-on treatment to ease it, and build a graded plan to get you moving and loading normally again. Most people need a handful of sessions, not months.
Get urgent advice if you have severe or spreading weakness, numbness around the back passage, loss of bladder or bowel control, unexplained weight loss, or pain that's severe and unrelenting at night. These are uncommon but need prompt assessment.
