Low Back Pain

Low back pain is common and highly treatable — early physiotherapy helps prevent it becoming chronic.

"Low back pain affects around 1 in 6 Australians, and is the third leading cause of disease burden nationally."

Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, ranging from a mild ache to significant, ongoing disability, and is highly responsive to the right treatment.


Whether it's from heavy lifting, prolonged sitting, poor posture or an underlying spinal condition, low back pain is common at every age — and in most cases, it responds well to targeted physiotherapy treatment.

What causes low back pain?

Low back pain can stem from a number of causes, including:

  • Muscle or ligament strain, often from lifting or sudden movement.
  • Poor posture, particularly from prolonged sitting or desk work.
  • Disc-related issues, including bulging or degenerative disc disease.
  • Joint or nerve irritation, such as sciatica.
  • Age-related changes, including spinal osteoarthritis.

Effective treatment and management of low back pain.

Most cases of low back pain respond well to early, targeted intervention. Our physiotherapists use a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause, then apply hands-on treatment, postural correction and a tailored exercise program to relieve pain, restore movement, and reduce the risk of it becoming a recurring or chronic issue.
