Back and neck pain is the most common reason people stop doing what they enjoy. It is also the problem most often managed with rest and painkillers alone, which is why it so often comes back. Treatment here addresses the spine at its source: mobility, strength, and the postures and habits that keep reloading it.
What is back & neck pain?
Spinal physiotherapy restores movement to stiff segments, settles irritated structures, and rebuilds the deep muscular support the spine relies on. It is combined with practical ergonomic correction, because relief that only holds until you sit back down at your desk is not relief.
Conditions we treat
- Chronic and recurrent low back pain
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Slipped disc (herniated disc)
- Sciatica and referred leg pain
- Cervical spondylosis
- Postural back and neck pain from desk work
Signs you should not ignore
- Pain radiating into the arm or leg
- Pins and needles, numbness or weakness
- Morning stiffness that takes time to ease
- Pain worsened by sitting, bending or coughing
- Difficulty turning the head or standing straight
- Pain that keeps returning after it settles
Our treatment approach
-
1
Spinal assessment
Identifying the level and structure involved, and screening for anything that needs referral rather than treatment.
-
2
Pain relief
Manual therapy and appropriate modalities to reduce irritability early.
-
3
Restore mobility
Mobilisation of the stiff segments, and release of the muscles compensating for them.
-
4
Core and postural strengthening
Rebuilding the deep support that lets the spine tolerate load again.
-
5
Ergonomic correction
Practical changes to how you sit, lift and sleep — the loads that recur daily.
-
6
Relapse prevention
A maintenance programme, because recurrence is the defining feature of spinal pain.
What treatment achieves
- Reduced pain and nerve irritation
- Restored spinal movement
- Stronger core and postural support
- Fewer and milder recurrences
- Less reliance on painkillers
Prevention & self-care
- Break up long periods of sitting every 30–40 minutes
- Set your screen at eye level
- Lift with the hips and knees, not the lower back
- Sleep with the neck properly supported
- Keep walking — prolonged bed rest makes back pain worse
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on how long the problem has been present, its severity and how consistently you can follow your home programme. After your first assessment you will be given a realistic estimate rather than an open-ended course of treatment.
