QUESTIONS, Answered.
Still not sure? Our team is happy to answer any questions before you book.
Not necessarily. Our physical assessment can accurately pinpoint mechanical causes of back pain. If we spot signs suggesting severe structural damage, we will refer you for imaging or medical consultation.
Strict bed rest is actually discouraged. Gentle, controlled movement guided by a physiotherapist usually leads to faster recovery than complete inactivity.
Massage provides temporary muscle relief, but it does not fix weak core muscles or poor joint mechanics. Physiotherapy combines manual therapy with active exercise for long-term results.
Yes, but modified. Your therapist will show you which exercises are safe to continue and which movements you should temporarily avoid.
Please wear loose, comfortable sportswear (e.g., t-shirt and track pants/shorts) so we can easily assess your back and movement.
