Physiotherapy for Back Pain

Lower Back Pain Physiotherapy

Understanding Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and can affect daily activities such as sitting, walking, bending, and sleeping. It may develop suddenly due to injury or gradually due to posture, repetitive strain, or age-related changes.

  • Muscle strain or weakness
  • Joint stiffness or reduced spinal mobility
  • Poor posture or prolonged sitting
  • Disc-related conditions
  • Degenerative changes such as arthritis
  • Reduced core strength and movement control

Physiotherapy focuses on understanding why your pain is occurring, not just where you feel it.
