Back Pain80% of adults in the UK experience low back pain at some point during their lifetime. Causes range from strains and sprains, disc derangement or prolapse, dysfunction, postural syndrome, spinal stenosis, nerve root irritation and spondylosis (wear and tear) amongst others.

You may even be getting pain shooting or pins and needles into your legs or feet.

It is vital to achieve an accurate diagnosis enabling treatment of the causes as well as the symptoms and begin your road to recovery.  Spinal reflexes, postural observation, range of movement, core stability and nerve tests will be carried out to ensure a firm diagnosis and rule out potentially sinister problems.

Treatment is aimed at long term outcomes with the aim to give clients good strategies to deal with their sore backs. Short term, the aim is to get the pain under control as quickly as possible.

Treatment methods include spinal mobilisations, soft tissue massage, heat therapy, postural advice, ergonomic and workplace advice and progressive exercise therapy including the activation of the vital core stabilising muscles that are key to the prevention of many future problems.
