Back Pain FAQs

Common questions about back pain physiotherapy

Physiotherapy helps back pain through manual therapy, core strengthening exercises, and movement retraining. Our physiotherapists identify the root cause of your pain and create a personalised treatment plan to reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent recurrence. Research shows physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for back pain.

Most patients see significant improvement within 4-8 sessions. Acute back pain often responds quickly, while chronic conditions or disc problems may require longer treatment. We'll give you an estimated timeline after your initial assessment and adjust the plan based on your progress.

Yes, physiotherapy is highly effective for sciatica. We use specific techniques to relieve nerve compression, reduce inflammation, and address the underlying cause - whether it's a disc problem, muscle tightness, or joint dysfunction. Many patients experience significant relief within a few sessions.

Yes, physiotherapy for back pain is typically covered by private health insurance. We are recognised by all major insurers including Bupa, AXA, Vitality, Aviva, Cigna, and WPA. We offer direct billing so you don't pay upfront - we bill your insurer directly.

In most cases, no. Our physiotherapists can assess and diagnose most back conditions without imaging. Research shows that scans often reveal "abnormalities" that aren't causing your pain. If we suspect something that requires imaging, we'll arrange this or refer you to your GP. Bring any existing scan results to your appointment.

Seek urgent medical attention if your back pain is accompanied by: loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around your genitals or bottom, progressive leg weakness, or severe pain following trauma. These are rare but serious symptoms requiring immediate medical assessment. For most back pain, physiotherapy is safe and effective.
