Why Physios for Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain is more common than most people think.
Around 80% of adults will experience it at some point—and for many, it can stick around, making everyday things harder than they need to be.

It can happen for all sorts of reasons: poor posture, muscle strain, stress, or even old injuries resurfacing.

At our clinic, we take a more individual approach.

We look at what’s causing the pain and recommend treatments that support your recovery—not just in the short term, but over time.

These may include:

✅ Physiotherapy

✅ Shockwave Therapy

✅ Clinical Pilates

✅ Dry Needling

✅ Work Injuries & CTP Rehab

Our team is made up of women physiotherapists who’ve worked with a wide range of back pain cases, from mild to complex.

The goal is simple: help you move with less pain and more confidence.

Why not Surgery?

Surgery can feel like the quickest fix—especially when the pain is intense.

But here’s what research shows:

One year later, people who choose physiotherapy often experience outcomes just as effective as those who undergo surgery.

✅ And with physio, you avoid the common risks that come with surgery, including:
• Infections
• Nerve damage
• Long recovery periods

For most people, physiotherapy is the safer and more sustainable first step—backed by evidence, and focused on helping you heal without unnecessary intervention.

And if surgery does end up being needed, physio remains a crucial part of the recovery process.

Thinking about surgery? It’s worth exploring physiotherapy first.

Physio or Rest?

Think bed rest will help your back pain? You’re not alone—but the research tells a different story.

📚 Clinical studies show that too much rest can actually delay recovery and, in some cases, make pain worse.

Excess bedtime = Excess inactivity

💤 Prolonged inactivity can lead to weaker muscles, stiffer joints, and longer-lasting discomfort.

✅ On the other hand, gentle movement—guided by a professional—has been shown to speed up healing.

✅ Physiotherapy helps you stay active in a safe and structured way, reducing pain while restoring strength and mobility.

If back pain is getting in the way, staying still might not be the solution.
Let’s help you move forward—safely and with purpose.

💚 Holistic Back Pain Treatment & Consult

What’s included in your physio session?

✅ A full consultation and treatment for lower back pain—all for just $140 AUD.

🧾 Health insurance accepted.
We process most claims on the spot.

Fewer Sessions → Less Cost
Most people start to feel better within 3–6 weeks.

This means fewer visits and more value for your time and money.

💡 Follow-up sessions are discounted at $120 AUD.

And if things aren’t improving, we’ll reassess your plan to make sure you’re getting the care that’s right for you.

What to expect from initial consultation & treatment?

Thorough Assessment and Diagnosis

During your first visit, we take time to understand your symptoms, review your medical history, and consider any previous treatments or scans. This allows us to develop an accurate diagnosis..

Personalised Treatment Plan

Based on your assessment, we will create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your specific health goals and needs.

Manual Therapy (20-25 minutes)

We provide hands-on treatment for 20-25 minutes during your session, helping you begin your recovery journey.
