What causes back pain?
Back pain is rarely caused by a single event. Most common examples of back pain triggers include:
- prolonged sitting and posture strain
- lifting or bending “wrong”
- disc irritation, disc herniation, disc bulges and degeneration
- reduced mobility and reduced activity
- muscle weakness
- nervous system sensitivity
In most cases, pain is influenced by a combination of lifestyle and other factors that add up to trigger back pain and injury
Our focus is identifying which of these factors are most relevant for you and giving you the tools and strategies to get to the root of the problem.

-
learning how you move with and around your injury, so we can understand your strengths and weaknesses.

clear functional goals, understanding what your after is what helps create the plan for your success.
- teach you the tools to have a strong and resilient body and avoid further injury and repetitive flare ups.

The objective is not short-term relief only.
