How We Treat Back Pain

Core Strengthening & Rehabilitation
A weak core and supporting muscles contribute to recurring back pain. Targeted physiotherapy exercises rebuild core strength, spinal stability, and endurance.

Restoring Mobility & Flexibility
Tight muscles and stiff joints limit spinal movement. Guided stretching and mobility exercises safely restore full range of motion and reduce pain with daily activities.

Posture & Movement Pattern Correction
