Our clients often say ‘I didn’t do anything’ or ‘I don’t remember where it started’ but what they’re feeling is often the last straw after weeks or months of dysfunction. 

Back pain therapy starts with understanding what’s really driving it. It’s rarely just one thing: 

 

 

Often caused by long-term sitting, lack of strength/mobility, or overexertion. Even simple movements can trigger pain when the spine is underprepared. 

 

 

Sciatica symptoms can include pain radiating into the glutes or leg, pins and needles, numbness, or burning sensations. Causes may include nerve compression, disc bulges, muscular tightness or prolonged poor posture. 

 

 

Prolonged desk work slouched sitting and “tech neck” reduce spinal mobility and contribute to mid and lower back pain. 

 

 

Bulging or herniated discs can cause sharp or chronic pain and may radiate into the leg, glutes, or upper back depending on the location. 

 

 

Overuse, sudden movement, or long-term poor mechanics can cause muscle guarding or spasms. Patients often don’t realise how long the issue has been building. Most people don’t move enough. They don’t build that functional strength that keeps the body safe, then they lift a laundry basket and their back goes. 

Our multidisciplinary approach ensures we treat the root cause, not just the symptoms. 

 

 

As osteopaths, we tend to see the more severe symptoms. We’ll use targeted assessment and manual techniques to give the spine more space and ease pain, improving spinal function. This can include high-velocity thrusts, joint articulation and gentle mobilisation. 

 

 

Ideal for muscular tension, spasms and postural issues. Massage improves blood flow, releases guarding muscles and restores mobility, especially when combined with corrective movement work. 

 

 

You don’t need a gym, you can do 15 minutes of mobility in the morning and it’ll help your whole kinetic chain. We can give you a programme of simple, customised home exercises to restore mobility and strength. 

 

 

We can guide clients to identify and correct daily habits that contribute to back pain, including posture, sleep, stress, hydration and nutrition.
