Back pain physiotherapy treatment

What we do

We provide evidence-based exercise programmes for back and neck pain in your home. Our approach focuses on understanding your pain, improving movement, and building strength to reduce symptoms and prevent recurrence.

Most back and neck pain improves with the right exercises and advice. We help you understand your condition and give you the tools to manage it effectively.

Who it helps

  • People with chronic back or neck pain looking for long-term management strategies
  • Those recovering from acute episodes who want to prevent future problems
  • Anyone with stiffness or reduced movement affecting daily activities
  • People who want to avoid medication or surgery where possible

What to expect

We'll assess your movement, posture, and pain patterns. We'll ask about your daily activities, work setup, and what makes your pain better or worse.

Your programme will include:

  • Movement exercises: Gentle stretches and mobility work to reduce stiffness
  • Strengthening exercises: Building core and postural muscles
  • Postural advice: How to sit, stand, and move to reduce strain
  • Pain education: Understanding your pain and what you can safely do
  • Activity modification: Adapting daily tasks to protect your spine

Evidence-based approach

Research shows that staying active and doing specific exercises is one of the most effective treatments for back and neck pain. We focus on:

  • Gradual return to normal activities
  • Progressive strengthening
  • Addressing movement patterns that contribute to pain
  • Building confidence in your body's ability to heal

How home visits work

Frequently asked questions

Will exercise make my pain worse?

Some discomfort during exercise is normal, but we'll work within your limits. We start gently and progress gradually. If something doesn't feel right, we'll adjust it.

Do I need a scan or X-ray first?

Usually not. Most back and neck pain doesn't show up on scans, and scans often show age-related changes that aren't causing your pain. We'll assess you clinically and refer you if needed.

How long until I feel better?

This varies. Acute pain often improves within a few weeks. Chronic pain may take longer, but most people notice gradual improvement with consistent exercise.
