Get back to life
Specialists in back & neck pain
About 80% of people report low back pain in their lifetime. Sometimes it settles — often it lingers. The important question is why it’s there and what to do next.
Find the driver, then treat it
There are many types of back and neck pain — and many treatments. Assessment establishes which structures are involved and which factors keep symptoms going, then builds a programme that addresses them.
- Manipulation — selected when assessment suggests you’re likely to respond; paired with home exercise for flexibility and strength
- Soft tissue & trigger points — spasm and “knots” that keep pain looping; released and followed with control work
- Movement analysis — small changes to postures or technique can unload irritated tissue; video when walking/running matters
- Deep muscle retraining — after pain, deep spinal muscles often fire late; targeted rehab helps protect the spine again
The aim isn’t only short-term relief. Successful care builds understanding, strength, control and flexibility so you can move confidently again — at work, in sport, or day to day.
