Back Our Approach to Back Pain Relief
Step 1: Assessment & Hands-On Care
We begin with a thorough assessment to understand the cause of your back pain. Early sessions focus on reducing pain and stiffness with hands-on treatments such as dry needling, massage, cupping, joint mobilisation, and electro dry needling.
Step 2: Active Rehab & Strengthening
Once your pain is under control, we move into active rehab in our on-site gym. This stage focuses on improving core strength, posture, and spinal mobility to stop pain from returning.
Step 3: Long-Term Prevention
We provide education, lifestyle advice, and tailored exercises to help you stay strong, flexible, and confident — whether you’re at work, in the garden, or back on the sports field.
Back Pain FAQs
.Q: Can physiotherapy really help my back pain?
A: Yes — our hands-on treatments can help ease pain fast, while exercises target the root cause so your pain doesn’t return.
Q: Do I need a doctor’s referral?
A: No referral is required. You can book directly with our clinic. If you are needing to have your treatments covered by a third party such as Medicare, RTWSA or CTP, a referral may be required. Feel free to contact us if you’re unsure.
Q: What treatments do you use?
A: Depending on your needs, we may use massage, dry needling, electro dry needling, cupping, trigger point therapy, joint mobilisation, as well as a tailored exercise program.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: It varies — some people feel relief in just a few sessions, while chronic or complex pain may require a longer plan. Your physio will discuss this with you after your assessment.
