Despite lacking strong scientific backing, the notion that poor posture causes spinal pain persists, fueling a lucrative industry of posture-correction products. In fact, no single spinal curvature is scientifically proven to prevent pain.
At The Spinal Studio, practitioners focus attention on helping patients adopt relaxed postures, emphasising that these are safe and can relieve symptoms, backed by science.
9 times out of 10, sciatic pain occurs from a bulged disc. Pain originates from your back and travels down the leg due to inflammation near the sciatic nerve.
Discomfort could stem from repetitive exercises that weakened the disc. By strengthening and centralising the pain up to the root of the dysfunction, physiotherapists can effectively alleviate sciatica.
90% of sciatica cases are caused by a herniated disc due to nerve root compression (Koes BW, van Tulder MW, Peul WC., 2007). Sciatic pain originates from your back and travels down the leg causing sciatic nerve pain.
Sciatic pain is often caused by repetitive exercise, causing weakness and can be effectively addressed by physical therapy.
Most patients with acute sciatica have a favourable prognosis (Koes BW, van Tulder MW, Peul WC., 2007).
A bulging disc is common as we age. 70% of 70 year olds have a bulging disc and live pain free (Cady D.O. 2019).
Bulging or a herniated disc becomes problematic when the disc pushes out the back of a vertebrae, hitting the spinal cord or a nerve root.
Up to 90% of lumbar disc herniations can be successfully treated with a conservative approach, without surgery.
Post-surgery rehabilitation is an essential aspect of healing, ensuring patients regain their strength, mobility, and function following surgical procedures.
Physiotherapists & manual therapy play a pivotal role in this process, providing holistic care that accelerates recovery and minimises the risk of complications.
Anterior ankle impingement, known as Footballer’s Ankle often occurs after direct trauma (impaction force) or repetitive ankle dorsiflexion (repetitive impaction and traction force).
It is very common in athletes who sustain repetitive ankle dorsiflexion most commonly in football players, soccer players, ballet dancers, gymnasts, and runners or those who have incurred multiple ankle sprains.
Understanding and addressing the root causes of knee pain is essential for effective relief.
Knee pain may indicate that the demands placed on your knee (load) have surpassed its ability to handle those demands (capacity), resulting in discomfort.
However, this discomfort could stem from lifestyle factors such as an unhealthy diet, abdominal weight gain, a sedentary lifestyle, inadequate sleep, and high stress levels, which can all increase sensitivity in the joint and exacerbate knee pain (Caneiro, 2022).
As osteopaths, we have the privilege of supporting pregnant women during this transformative phase of their lives.

How do you treat a groin injury? Hip or groin pain is a common complaint for which people are referred for physical therapy, with the hip region being involved in approximately 2% to 11% of running injuries (Carlos A. Guanche M.D., 2005).
It is characterised by pain in the groin area, which can range from mild to severe. Groin pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including overuse, prior injury or underlying medical conditions.
