Back pain

Back pain is one of the most widespread physical complaints and can affect people of all ages and activity levels. It may come on suddenly from an acute injury or develop gradually due to long-term strain. Symptoms can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating pain, often interfering with daily activities, work, and sleep. Chronic back pain may also lead to reduced mobility, postural imbalances, and a decrease in physical confidence. Fortunately, physiotherapy offers effective, evidence-based solutions to both relieve symptoms and address the underlying causes.

Common causes:

• Muscle strain
• Disc bulges or herniation
• Facet joint pain
• Prolonged posture when sitting
• Lifting or bending injuries
• Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis

Treatments:

At FIX Physio our treatment plans typically include manual therapy to relieve stiffness, targeted exercises to strengthen the core and spinal muscles, and postural education to prevent recurrence. Our approach also incorporates movement retraining and functional rehabilitation to help you return to normal activity levels safely and confidently.
