Common Causes of Back Pain

Muscle strains

Often caused by lifting, sudden movements or overuse — leading to tightness, spasms and reduced mobility.

Disc irritation

Irritated or bulging discs cause local pain or nerve symptoms, often worsened by prolonged sitting or bending.

Sciatica

Nerve irritation in the lower back causes pain radiating down the leg. Commonly linked to disc issues or nerve compression.

Poor lifting mechanics

Incorrect technique — especially in the gym or at work — overloads the spine and can lead to injury.

Postural pain

Long periods of sitting or poor posture place stress on the back, leading to stiffness and discomfort.

Sports injuries

Back pain from overuse, impact or poor technique during sport — rehabilitation focuses on recovery and safe return.

How We Treat Back Pain

Hands-on treatment for pain relief

Manual therapy to reduce pain, improve movement and settle irritated tissues early in recovery.

Mobility exercises

Targeted mobility work to restore normal movement, reduce stiffness and improve day-to-day function.

Strength rehabilitation

Building strength in key muscle groups to support the spine and reduce the risk of future flare-ups.

Return to gym or work plans

A clear plan to safely return to the gym, work or sport without aggravating the back.

Long-term flare-up prevention

Focused on long-term solutions so back pain doesn't keep returning.

Back Pain FAQs

Can physio help slipped discs? +
Yes — many disc injuries improve significantly with the right rehab plan, movement advice and gradual strengthening. Surgery is rarely the first option.
Why is my back pain worse when sitting? +
This is often caused by disc irritation, postural loading or prolonged desk work placing sustained pressure on the lumbar spine.
Can I still go to the gym with back pain? +
In many cases yes — exercises may need modifying while the back settles, but staying active usually aids recovery more than rest alone.
When should I see a physio for back pain? +
If pain keeps returning or affects your work, daily life or exercise, get assessed early. The sooner the root cause is identified, the faster the recovery.
Do I need a GP referral? +
No — you can book directly without a GP referral and be seen the same week.
