So today’s subject is “I’ve got lower back pain – what can I do?”

Here is a testimonial from one of our clients who had lower back pain:

“Assessment of my lower back problem and full explanation of why I was suffering and the introduction to a series of exercises to significantly improve flexibility of my spine and increase muscle strength in the affected area. The treatment was good value for money and I would recommend to a friend” (Mr. L)

Lower back pain is reported by 80% of people at some time in their life but a lot of people just live with the pain. People suffering from lower back pain are those with jobs that involve driving, builders, golfers to name a few!

Back pain can have many root causes, not least poor posture that causes (an imbalance and stiffness in certain muscles) so I have chosen exercises below that will help mobilise the back and open up the joints to increase flexibility.

Hands on physiotherapy treatments including; massage, mobilisation, manipulation, myofascial release, neural release, combined with stretching and core stability exercises is an effective treatment for lower back pain. We also offer acupuncture which is great for the treatment of lower back pain too.
