Pain & Movement

Lower Back Pain

Pain across the lower back that typically worsens with prolonged sitting, driving or standing, and eases with movement or rest.

What it usually feels like

  • Aching or stiffness across the lower back
  • Worse after long sitting or driving
  • Difficulty bending forward
  • Morning stiffness that eases with movement

What commonly contributes to it

  • Long hours of sitting without back support
  • Weak core and gluteal muscles
  • Poor sleeping posture or an unsupportive mattress
  • Sudden lifting without preparation
  • Excess weight around the abdomen

How we approach it

We assess your posture and movement first to find the mechanical cause. Treatment settles the pain through manual therapy and heat, and corrective movement then builds the strength that stops it returning. Most people need four weeks.

When to see a doctor instead

See a doctor before coming to us if you have pain radiating below the knee with numbness or weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, pain following a fall or accident, unexplained weight loss, or fever with back pain.

Start with an assessment.

Every plan here begins with understanding what is actually happening. Forty minutes, and you leave knowing where you stand.
