Helping You Restore Spine Health
Our back pain physio combines clinical expertise with practical strategies to help you manage pain and regain confidence in movement.
Stiffness or pain in the upper back can limit your shoulder movement or trunk mobility at work. In sporting activities, such as golf or tennis, that require optimal body rotation, limited mobility will hinder your performance.
At Livewell Health, we address both the immediate pain and the underlying cause. Treatment may include manual therapy, guided exercises, and posture training, alongside advice you can use outside the clinic to keep progress going and prevent setbacks.
Our skilled physiotherapists work to identify and treat the source of your pain, ensuring long-term relief. After your back physiotherapy session, you'll receive a personalised plan to effectively manage your concerns.

Holistic Recovery
We strive to guide you beyond pain relief by addressing your overall well-being for sustainable, long-term outcomes.
Our Targeted Recovery Approach
Our upper back physiotherapy sessions focus on your individual needs. We work to improve the specific movements and muscle groups that matter most to your recovery.
We combine hands-on care with practical exercises that effectively target the root causes of your pain. The aim is to ease the strain you’re feeling now, while slowly building the strength and flexibility to help prevent it from returning.
Pain Relieving Techniques
Hands-on massage and trigger point therapy are required to settle the initial pain. Approaches like gentle stretching, soft tissue work, or joint mobilisation help bring gradual relief while your body recovers.
Postural Guidance
A practical guide on posture health that you can implement in everyday sitting, standing, walking, and other activities will be included, so you feel less sore and get through the day with ease.
Building Postural Strength
Gradual targeted exercises quietly build the stabiliser muscles supporting your spine, giving you more stability and mobility so you don’t end the day with pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
01Can back physio help with the pain I’ve had for years?
Yes, back physiotherapy can help with the pain you have been experiencing for years when delivered by an experienced physiotherapist. A professional can help you identify and address the root cause of your back pain. With regular sessions, you will experience considerable relief and also see an improvement in your overall mobility.
02What’s included in a back physiotherapy session?
At Livewell Health, we always start with a thorough assessment to design a program around your goals and daily life. The prescribed treatment option for you may involve manual therapy, guided exercises, and advice for improving your postural strength or workspace setups.
03Is back pain physio suitable after surgery?
Back pain physio is often recommended for post-surgery rehabilitation. The timing as to when this is appropriate will depend on the nature of the surgery. That’s why we always conduct an initial assessment that thoroughly checks your medical history and does various physical tests to ensure your readiness to start your recovery journey.
04How soon will I notice changes?
Always remember that physiotherapy sessions work differently for everyone, so results will vary between weeks to months. While we always start by giving a tentative schedule of the sessions you might require, we can provide the plan after our initial assessment, and this is modifiable based on how you progress.
05Can back physio reduce my need for pain medication?
Yes, back physio can help you reduce your reliance on painkillers, but not always so. Physiotherapy can go a long way in improving strength, flexibility, and movement patterns, so symptoms often become easier to manage. The need for pain medications will depend on how your body reacts to therapy and the underlying causes of pain.
