Frequently Asked Questions
Should I rest or keep moving with back pain?
In most cases gentle movement is better than rest. Complete bed rest can slow recovery. Your physio will advise you on the right level of activity for your situation.
Do I need a scan before seeing a physio?
No. Physiotherapists are trained to assess and diagnose back pain without imaging. Scans are only recommended in specific circumstances.
How many sessions will I need?
Many patients feel significantly better after just 2 to 3 sessions. Your physio will give you a clear treatment timeline at your first appointment.
Can physiotherapy prevent my back pain from coming back?
Yes. One of our main goals is to fix your current pain and give you the tools to prevent it returning.
