Back Pain

How Does Physiotherapy Help for Back Pain?

Our physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify weak or stiff structures. Treatment involves passive therapy to loosen stiff joints and muscles, alongside active techniques to enhance strength and flexibility in the surrounding muscles. Consistent exercise routines can help alleviate future pain severity.

Lower back pain is highly debilitating, often radiating to the buttocks and hip. Physiotherapy is crucial for recovery, incorporating guided therapeutic exercises to strengthen muscles and condition spinal tissues and joints.

Physical therapy for back pain aims to achieve several objectives, both immediate and ongoing:

Pelvic X-Ray

Alleviate painful symptoms in the lower back and/or leg.
