Why Physios for Lower Back Pain?

If you’re dealing with lower back pain, you’re not alone—about 80% of adults experience it at some point in their lives.

Lower back pain has several causes and can be persistent, holding you back from the life you want to live.

That’s why we offer holistic treatments tailored to your needs.

These are treatments proven to help manage and relieve lower back pain. These include:

Physiotherapy

Dry Needling

Shockwave Therapy

Clinical Pilates

Work Injuries & CTP Rehab

These treatments are provided by our all-women physio clinic.

They are meant to address the varying causes of back pain.

Why not Surgery?

❗Surgery might seem like the fastest way to get relief—especially when the pain is intense.

But here’s what the research says:

One year down the line, people who chose physio often see results just as effective as those who had surgery.

✅ With physio, you also avoid surgical risks like:

❗Infections

❗Nerve damage

❗Lengthy recovery times

✅ For most people (yes, including you), physio is the safer, smarter first step.

And even if surgery does become necessary later, physiotherapy will still be key to your recovery.

So if you’re thinking about surgery, do yourself a favor—try physio first.

Physio or Rest?

Think bed rest will help your back pain? You’re not alone—but research says otherwise.

📚 Clinical studies have shown that prolonged rest can actually make back pain worse.

💤 More time in bed = more inactivity

And when you stay inactive, your muscles weaken, your joints stiffen, and your pain can hang around even longer.

✅ Staying active—with the right professional guidance—has been proven to speed up recovery.

✅ Physiotherapy keeps you moving safely, helping reduce pain and restore function without making things worse.

If back pain is slowing you down, don’t let rest prolong the problem.

Let’s get you moving—with a plan that works.

⭐ Holistic Back Pain Treatment & Consult

✅ A physio session available on this page includes both a back pain treatment AND a consult.

✅ All for 140 AUD only. No additional fees for the consult.

✅ Health insurance accepted.

❗Fewer Sessions -> Less Fees
No need to keep coming back forever. Most feel better in 3–6 weeks, so you save time & money.

✅ Return sessions are at a lower fee of 120 AUD only.

✅ If we don’t see improvement, we reassess to ensure the right care is provided.
