What it is
Most back pain is mechanical — the joints, discs and muscles of the spine become sensitised, often after a period of sustained sitting, heavy lifting or a sudden awkward movement.
It can refer into the buttock or leg. Frightening as that feels, it does not usually mean anything is permanently damaged, and it responds well to the right movement at the right time.
How we help
- 01
A thorough assessment first, to rule out anything that needs onward referral and to identify which movements settle your pain and which provoke it.
- 02
Manual therapy and IASTM to reduce guarding and restore segmental movement, paired with a specific loading program for the deep trunk and hip muscles.
- 03
Practical changes to how you sit, lift and sleep, so the improvement holds after treatment ends.
