Treatment is aimed to relieve your pain and restore function as quickly as possible. This can be through ‘hands on’ techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, postural correction, electrotherapy, dry needling and exercise therapy.

Physiotherapists are increasingly using dry needling techniques (a fusion of traditional Eastern methods and Trigger Point therapy) to compliment manual therapies when treating a range of musculoskeletal conditions.

Control of the deep abdominal muscles plays an integral part in the health of your back. Those with a history of lower back pain have been shown to have diminished strength and control in the muscles that stabilise the spine.
