Back pain is common and can have many contributing factors. An individual assessment can help identify warning signs, functional limitations and management options suited to your situation.
How back pain can present
Symptoms can range from stiffness to pain with sitting, lifting, walking or sleep. Pain can sometimes be linked with leg symptoms. A precise cause cannot be confirmed from a website.
How physiotherapy may help
A physiotherapist may review symptom history, movement, strength and activities, then discuss education, graded exercise and activity changes. The plan should reflect your goals and clinical findings.
Red flags
Seek urgent medical care for new bladder or bowel control problems, saddle-area numbness, progressive weakness, major trauma, fever with back pain, or other serious symptoms.
Frequently asked questions
Should I avoid all movement?
The right activity level varies. Many people can remain active within tolerable limits, but individual advice is important.
When should I book an assessment?
Consider assessment if pain persists, recurs, limits daily tasks or concerns you. Seek urgent help for red-flag symptoms.
