Introduction

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions affecting adults today. It can develop from poor posture, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, sports injuries, or even everyday activities. For many people, it impacts work, sleep, exercise, and overall quality of life. 

At Strive Physiotherapy, we help patients identify the root cause of their lower back pain and guide them toward long-term recovery through evidence-based physiotherapy treatment. 

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain 

Lower back pain can occur for many reasons, including: 

• Muscle strain or tension  

• Poor posture  

• Sedentary lifestyle  

• Disc irritation  

• Weak core muscles  

• Repetitive lifting or bending  

• Sports or workplace injuries  

Sometimes the pain develops gradually over time, while in other cases it can happen suddenly after movement or lifting. 

Signs You Should See a Physiotherapist 

You may benefit from physiotherapy if you experience: 

• Persistent lower back stiffness  

• Pain when sitting or standing for long periods  

• Difficulty bending or lifting  

• Pain that affects work or daily activities  

• Recurring back pain episodes  

• Reduced flexibility or movement  

Early treatment can often prevent the condition from worsening and support a faster recovery. 

How Physiotherapy Helps 

Physiotherapy focuses on treating both the symptoms and the underlying cause of your pain. At Strive Physiotherapy, your treatment plan is tailored specifically to your condition, lifestyle, and goals. 

Treatment may include: 

Hands-On Therapy 

Manual therapy techniques can help reduce stiffness, improve mobility, and ease muscle tension. 

Exercise Rehabilitation 

Targeted strengthening and mobility exercises help improve support around the spine and reduce the risk of recurring pain. 

Posture and Movement Education 

Poor movement habits and posture can contribute to ongoing back pain. Our physiotherapists help you move more efficiently and safely. 

Recovery and Prevention 

The goal is not only to reduce pain but also to help you stay active, strong, and confident in your daily activities. 

Don’t Ignore Your Back Pain 

Many people try to “push through” lower back pain, hoping it will eventually go away. However, ongoing discomfort can become more difficult to manage over time if left untreated. 

At Strive Physiotherapy, we’re committed to helping you recover safely and return to the activities you enjoy. 

If lower back pain is affecting your daily life, our team is here to help.
