Neck & Back Pain

You have made the right choice in coming to physiotherapy for your neck and back pain! We know how to treat it and have a lot of research evidence to govern our testing and treatments.

The Back Pain Specialists

Back pain can be the result of many different things. Pain can be triggered by some combination of overuse, muscle strain, and/or injuries to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine, and this will be discussed between you and your physio in your first session. Low back exercises and flexibility can be the best treatment option for almost all types of back problems as it is likely to help restore balance in the spine.

Low back treatment focuses on gentle mobilisations as well as exercises that concentrate on strengthening the abdominal muscles, to be able to give stabilisation of the spine. Rehabilitation programs or preventative rehabilitation programs that focus on strengthening lumbar muscles combined with core stability, stretches and proprioception will reduce the risk of low back pain if exercises are done correctly, and on a regular basis.

We recommend booking in with one of our physios to get the best treatment possible suited to your condition.

Low Back Pain Myth-Busting

Moving will make my back pain worse

People fear twisting and moving, but its important to keep moving and gradually increase how much you are doing. Research has shown that movement is essential in order for low back pain to get better.

I should avoid exercise, especially lifting weights

Back pain shouldn’t stop you enjoying exercise or regular activities. In fact, studies found that continuing with these can help you get better sooner – including using weights where appropriate and guided by your physiotherapist

A scan is needed and will show my exactly what’s wrong

Sometimes it will - but most often it will not. Even people with out back pain have changes in their spine, so fear from scans can actually influence behaviour and make the pain worse

Pain = Damage

This was the established view but more recent research has changed our thinking. Modern physio takes a holistic approach that helps people understand why they are in pain - the whole body and brain is linked.

What our clients say...

I've had a couple of issues (likely self inflicted) over the last 3 years and feel very fortunate to have found Nathan's practice. I have benefited greatly not only from Nathan's physical treatment, but also from his insightful advice and recommendations. My recovery on each occasion has been assisted so much by making sure I carry out his recommended exercises in my own time in addition to the physio sessions. I have found Nathan to be an excellent listener and very effective at identifying underlying issues for suitable treatment. I could not recommend Nathan and his practice more highly.

Nathan at Physio 23 has been an amazingly professional and thoughtful physiotherapist. It’s all about the patient and implementing a plan short term or long term to full recovery. I can’t recommend Physio 23 enough and am grateful for the ongoing relief and peace of mind they provide.

Each member of our family has needed physio services over the last few years and Nathan is our favourite physio we have seen. Having a gymnast daughter, we have seen a few over the years. He is incredibly professional, very experienced and a great guy to boot. Resolves acute problems quickly, helps with chronic issues and gives great advice. Would give him 10 stars if I could. Nathan is our family physio but, after seeing other staff as well, I would be happy to recommend each and every one of them.

The physiotherapists at Physio23 are amazing! They are detail orientated with a huge compassion to help their clients fulfil their goals. They have a person-centred approach to treating their clients and really demonstrate that they care! Highly recommend Physio23!

Physio 23 has been a true blessing to all of my family and I! We have all had some sort of an injury and been barely able to function, and they have helped to set us free from pain, in a way no one else could! Highly recommend them for their services and for the way they take care of you on your recovery!
