How It Works

Your pathway to relief

Consectetur adipiscing elit sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt labore et dolore magna aliqua enim minim veniam.

01. Assessment

We start by listening—when your back pain started, what makes it worse or better, and what you’re worried about. Your physio will:

Review your medical history and any imaging you already have

Check posture, movement, strength and nerve signs

Identify likely pain drivers (e.g. joint irritation, muscular overload, disc involvement, movement habits) You’ll leave this session with a clear explanation in plain English—not jargon.

02. Treatment

Your treatment plan is built around you and may include:

Hands-on techniques (joint mobilisation, soft-tissue release, gentle stretches)

A personalised exercise program focusing on mobility, core/hip strength and gradual return to normal activities

Education about pain, pacing and positions that help you settle symptoms

Practical advice on work tasks, lifting, childcare, driving and sleep positions The goal is not just short-term relief, but to help your back tolerate more over time.

03. Progress

At follow-up visits we:

Review pain, movement and function (e.g. sitting tolerance, walking, lifting)

Progress your exercises so your back becomes stronger and more resilient

Adjust your plan around flare-ups, work demands or life changes We keep you involved in decisions so you feel confident—not confused—about your recovery.
