At one point or another, we all experience back pain.
Whether it’s from too many hours at your work computer, you pulled something while doing the gardening, or you’re putting your issue down to age – you don’t need to accept back pain as your new normal.
Back pain can build slowly over time or appear out of nowhere. In either case, most people wait for it to go away on its own, or rely on painkillers to help take the edge off.
However, as time starts to pass and the fear of your back pain starts to significantly impact your day-to-day life – it’s time to try and find a solution.
Private physiotherapy can find the source of your back pain, and then provide you with a plan you need to treat it – so you can reclaim your best quality of life.
Back pain and Sciatica are the most common problems we see at our Hamilton physiotherapy clinic – so our team knows exactly how to treat them.
We know you might have some apprehensions. Perhaps you’ve tried physiotherapy before but you had to wait months for an appointment, which resulted in a sheet of generic exercises that didn’t help.
At Hamilton Physiotherapy, we focus on outcome over intervention. After an in-depth consultation, we will create a personalised treatment plan that tackles your pain at its source – with clear actions and milestones for when you will start to feel better.
By starting physiotherapy for your back pain, you can start tackling your pain immediately to improve your mobility, give you back your energy, and help you finally get a good night’s sleep – without relying on GP appointments or painkillers.
Sitting can provide relief from your back pain – but getting up again can be a whole different story.
The same can be said for standing for too long in one position. If a particular movement causes pain to creep in, it’s important to get the right treatment to strengthen your weak area.
A quick Google or YouTube search will bring up hundreds of exercises for back pain – but how do you know they are the right ones for your pain?
In some cases, doing the wrong exercises will make you feel worse!
The best way to create a personalised exercise programme is to talk to an expert, who can create a progressive plan that builds your long-term strength, function, and mobility.
Above anything else: the most important thing you can do to tackle your back pain is book a physiotherapy appointment!
Working with a professional is the best way to reclaim your energy, independence, and enjoyment of life.
We don’t promise a magical fix for your pain if we can’t provide one.
