Is This You?
Lower back stiff or sore after a day at the desk or a long drive?
A sharp “catch” when you bend, lift or get out of the car? Pain that flares after sport or a weekend project? Or an old back niggle that keeps coming back and is now getting in the way of work, training or sleep?
You’re not alone, and you don’t have to put up with it. Our Goodwood physios help people every day to reduce pain, restore movement and get back to the things that matter.
How We Actually Help
We start with a focused assessment to rule out anything serious and to understand your back, your goals and your day-to-day loads. From there, we build a clear, practical plan.
Your plan typically includes:
Education & Resistance
What’s going on, what helps, and what to avoid (for now).
Graded
Activity
Keep you moving safely, not stuck on the couch.
Targeted Exercise therapy
Mobility, strength and control for your back and hips.
Manual therapy (as appropiate)
Hands on treatment to help settle soreness, and improve your movement
