What is Back Pain?

Back pain can be caused by differing levels of stress on the structures of the back. Strain on ligaments, joints, discs, nerves, muscles, fascia and tendons results in trauma which is reported to the brain as pain. Stiffness and weakness can also result from prolonged strains.

These imbalances are then duly managed with manual therapies...

Other Symptoms Include:
  • Bottom or gluteus ache secondary to the lower back pain
  • Leg symptoms of tightness, pins and needles/numbness, weakness
  • Inability to sit comfortably at work
  • Disturbed sleep, unable to lie in a comfortable position or turn over without pain.
