What does spinal physiotherapy involve?
Spinal physiotherapy includes assessment and treatment of the neck, upper back, and lower back using hands-on therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and posture correction. It’s designed to reduce pain, restore mobility, and prevent recurrence of spinal issues like disc bulges, sciatica, and muscular strain.
Can physio help with herniated or slipped discs?
Yes — physiotherapy is often a key part of non-surgical treatment for herniated discs. We’ll help reduce pressure on the spine, improve mobility and teach you exercises that support your recovery while avoiding flare-ups. If needed, we can work alongside other providers or refer for imaging.
When should I see a spinal physio?
If you’re experiencing recurring back or neck pain, stiffness, postural fatigue or sciatica, a spinal physio can help. Early treatment improves outcomes, reduces pain faster, and helps you avoid long-term compensation or reduced function.
