How We Treat Back Pain
Treatment is tailored to the individual and may include a combination of hands-on therapy, movement work and rehabilitation exercises designed to improve strength, mobility and movement control.
Physiotherapy for Back Pain
Physiotherapy focuses on assessing how the spine, joints and surrounding muscles are functioning. Treatment may include mobility work, exercise prescription and hands-on treatment to reduce pain and restore movement.
Sports Therapy & Rehabilitation
Sports therapy helps improve strength, stability and movement patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms. Rehabilitation is designed to support long-term recovery and reduce the risk of future flare-ups.
Massage Therapy for Muscular Back Pain
Where muscular tightness and tension are contributing to symptoms, treatments such as sports massage and deep tissue massage may help reduce restriction and improve comfort alongside rehabilitation.

Back Pain Treatment FAQs
Can physiotherapy help lower back pain?
Physiotherapy can help identify the underlying cause of back pain and use targeted exercises, movement advice and hands-on treatment to improve mobility, strength and control.
Is back pain always caused by a slipped disc?
No. Many cases of back pain are related to muscle strain, posture, joint irritation or reduced movement rather than disc injury.
Can sports massage help back pain?
If muscular tension or overuse is contributing to your symptoms, sports massage may help reduce tightness and improve movement.

No referral is required to book an appointment with Active Rehab Therapy.
