Low Back Pain

Low back pain is a common condition. In fact 80% of Australians experience low back pain at some time.

If untreated, low back pain commonly reoccurs. But the good news is that you can reduce the recurrence rate dramatically with specific and specialised physiotherapy.

The Bay Active Physio team are recognised experts in the management of low back pain. Our staff are masters qualified musculoskeletal physiotherapists. Alison Viner, who leads our team in the management of low back pain, is a fully qualified and credentialed McKenzie therapist. Trudy Rebbeck is a co-author of the national Australian guidelines for the management of low back pain.

We always use scientifically proven and therefore the most effective treatments to resolve low back pain. These include the McKenzie method, manual therapy and the retraining of deep postural muscles (core stability). Your assessment will always begin with a thorough assessment.

You can expect your pain to be substantially reduced within three treatments. Many patients are pain free within one or two sessions. Of course the cause of your pain, duration of symptoms and past history does make a difference to speed of recovery.
