Low Back Pain
Low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting people of all ages. It can result from poor posture, prolonged sitting, muscle strain, spinal injuries, disc problems, or age-related degeneration. Physiotherapy plays a vital role in reducing pain, restoring movement, and improving overall quality of life.
Our physiotherapists perform a comprehensive assessment to identify the root cause of your back pain. Treatment may include manual therapy, stretching exercises, strengthening programs, posture correction, ergonomic advice, and pain management techniques. The goal is not only to relieve symptoms but also to prevent future episodes of back pain.

Causes of Low Back Pain
Low back pain can develop due to a variety of conditions affecting the muscles, ligaments, joints, discs, and nerves of the spine. Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment and long-term recovery.
- Repetitive Physical Stress – Frequent bending, twisting, or lifting activities can place excessive strain on the lower back structures.
- Core Muscle Weakness – Insufficient strength in the abdominal and back muscles may reduce spinal support and increase the risk of pain.
- Prolonged Sitting Habits – Spending long hours at a desk, driving, or using digital devices can create excessive pressure on the lumbar spine.
- Reduced Spinal Flexibility – Tight muscles and restricted joint movement can lead to discomfort and decreased functional mobility.
- Age-Related Changes – Natural wear and tear of spinal structures may contribute to stiffness, discomfort, and movement limitations.
- Sports and Occupational Injuries – Sudden impacts, improper training techniques, or workplace-related strain can result in lower back problems.
