Whether you’ve been suffering with back pain for a couple of days or a couple of years, our specialist physiotherapists are trained to get you moving more freely and doing everything you’ve been dreaming of getting back to.
Back pain can come about due to numerous reasons, so our physiotherapists do thorough screens with you to avoid misdiagnosis of the problem. We have expert medical knowledge which includes recognising the need for referral to other services, if we believe it’s not bone related, nerve related or muscular.
In your initial consultation, our specialist will do a full assessment to ascertain the cause of your lower back pain. They will then do treatment within the session and go through what they expect you to do at home to manage and improve your systems. If you consent you will get recorded videos via whatsapp so that you are 100% clear on what you should be doing.
Likely causes:
We have provided you with this list, not so that you can consult Dr Google who is going to tell you have a terminal illness that you will never recover from. Do the sensible thing and seek expert advice!
We are not going to promise you that in your first session we will make your pain disappear, we are not magicians. But what we can promise is that we will be able to guide you on what is going on and what to expect going forwards. We also wish that we had a magic wand to get rid of pain – often we can use massage and manipulation techniques to reduce your pain so you can get closer to normal living – but any physiotherapist that promises you that they can cure your back pain in one session is taking you for a ride. This is especially true if you’ve have had the pain for years
Many of us like to receive things without needing to exercise patience, but unfortunately that’s not how the body was designed to work. If you speak to anyone that has sought professional help to overcome their back pain, they will tell you that it was a journey of slow, steady progress, and they’re likely to be thankful to their physiotherapist for being strict with them to get the outcomes they needed.
Back pain affects 619 million people globally (according to the WHO). This number is increasing daily, so get your back pain seen to sooner rather than later – do not add to that statistic.
