What is Back Pain Physiotherapy?

Back pain physiotherapy involves assessing how your spine, muscles, and movement patterns work together. Pain is often linked to weakness, stiffness, posture, or overload rather than a single injury.

Our approach combines hands-on treatment, guided exercise, and education so you can move with confidence again.

Treatment may help with:

iconPersistent lower back pain
iconUpper back and shoulder tension
iconPain linked to prolonged sitting or physical work
iconNerve-related symptoms such as sciatica
iconRecurring episodes of spinal discomfort

Conditions We Treat

Patients visiting our clinics in Sittingbourne and Sheerness often benefit from early physiotherapy intervention to prevent symptoms becoming long term.
