Lower back pain can vary from very mild to very severe. It is important to realise that 97% of back pain can be improved effectively with a combination of treatment and exercise.
Two key points
It is usually not helpful to get a scan as this will not change the way we deal with the problem.
Surgery (including injections should only be considered as a last resort)
A thorough assessment of your symptoms, how you move and how your back feels will enable us to create a specific treatment plan for you. Below is a summary of how we typically help people with back pain.
It is critical to understand the source of your symptoms and the factors that have caused your back to become painful in the first place.
Surgery can be stressful and worrying. Initially we will help you to understand the process of getting you back to full fitness.
Hands on treatment can often reduce pain and allow more pain free daily activities. It is important to do this alongside rehabilitation which gets to the root cause of the problem.
Without question the strength and stability of the lower back and surrounding areas is the most important factor in getting rid of your back pain once and for all. We will ensure that you have a specific programme for your back that we then progress over time.
The video below provides some information that may be beneficial when suffering with back pain. We would always recommend an assessment to be able to tailor this advice to each individual, but we hope this video can help.

I'm a retired professional. Michael came weekly to help me through recovery from total knee replacement surgery done on NHS after many years of waiting. I can honestly say that without his skilful advice, gradually building exercise regime and hands-on therapy, that experience would have been awful. Instead, I felt I had a professional friend helping and guiding me through the months it took to regain mobility. I'm awaiting surgery on the other knee and will certainly be calling upon Michael again to assist my recovery. Well worth the expense.
Knowledgable, caring and such a nice guys too! I was so lucky to find Michael in a busy time of my life where I needed to get to the bottom of an ongoing injury that was affecting my treasured tennis and exercise time. Thank you for everything Michael
I had a full hip replacement in Feb 22 and Michael helped me rehab to the point that I can now play squash again fully. He also sorted out severe pains in my shoulders which was affecting me on a daily basis. I would highly recommend him, he's a great guy and everything you would want from your physio.
Michael has provided successful treatment for me in respect of two separate issues and I have no hesitation in recommending his services. I will certainly be in touch if I need attention in future.
Highly recommend. Helped me through a couple of niggles and injuries and got me back playing tennis quickly.
