How we help

Start with understanding you.

You don’t need to know what’s causing your back pain before coming to see us.

We’ll start by listening to what’s been happening, how your symptoms behave and, importantly, what your back is stopping you from doing.

We’ll then assess your movement, strength and any other areas relevant to your symptoms. If you’re experiencing symptoms into your leg, we may also assess your nerve function.

From there, we’ll explain what we think is happening in plain English and work with you to decide what comes next.

Understanding your symptoms

Common causes of low back pain

Back pain doesn’t always have one simple cause, and sometimes it’s not possible or necessary to identify one specific structure responsible for your symptoms.

However, some conditions commonly associated with low back pain include:

You might already have one of these diagnoses from a GP, consultant or scan.

Or you might simply know that your back hurts.

Either way, we’ll start with the person in front of us rather than treating a scan or diagnosis in isolation.

  • Non-specific or mechanical low back pain
  • Muscle strains and sprains
  • Disc-related back pain
  • Disc bulges and herniations
  • Sciatica and lumbar nerve root irritation
  • Facet joint-related pain
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis
  • Osteoarthritis and age-related changes
  • Persistent or recurring low back pain

01 / Find a starting point

First, let's get things settled.

When your back is painful, the first priority is often helping you move more comfortably and making everyday life feel manageable again.

Depending on your assessment, that could involve advice around staying active, temporarily adapting aggravating activities, appropriate movement or exercise and hands-on treatment where we think it could be useful. But feeling better is only the first step.

02 / Get back to what matters

Then we'll help you get back to doing more.

As things settle, we’ll gradually work towards rebuilding the movement, strength and physical capacity you need.

For you, that might mean:

  • Getting through a full working day without constantly thinking about your back.
  • Getting back into the gym.
  • Running again.
  • Returning to golf or sport.
  • Picking up your children.
  • Or simply waking up and getting on with your day without your back dictating what you can and can’t do.

Your rehabilitation should be built around where you want to get back to.
