Low back pain
Low back pain is something most people will have at some point. It can come on after lifting, gardening or a long drive, or build slowly over weeks of sitting.
Pain in the low back does not always mean damage, and staying moving is usually part of the answer.
What We Look For
We take your history first, then look at how the low back, hips and pelvis move together and where that movement runs out.
We check what makes it worse and what eases it, and screen for anything that needs to go back to your GP.
How We Help
- Pain
- Settling the back so sitting, bending and sleeping get easier.
- Movement
- More range through the low back and hips.
- Strength
- Building the capacity your work and training ask for.
- Confidence
- Less worry about bending and lifting again.
Our Approach
1
Assessment
We start with your history and a physical examination of the low back, hips and pelvis.
2
Spinal adjustments
Hands-on work through the joints of the low back to restore movement.
3
Corrective exercises
Graded loading that keeps the range you have gained and builds strength around the spine.
How the plan usually runs
The first three to four visits are about reducing the pain and getting you moving again. From there we slowly move into strengthening, with the plan worked backwards from what you want to get back to.
