Lower back pain (LBP) is the most common discomfort treated by physiotherapists in the private practice setting. It is possible to have acute bouts of LBP which with quick intervention and time can ease away. It is however the chronic episodes experienced by some that may take a little while longer to heal and at times find yourself reaching out for help from a GP or physiotherapist.

While many see physiotherapy as a part of healthcare that is mainly aimed at healing the injured and helping athletes to improve performance, there is so much more to this highly specialised field. There are clinics popping up all over, but what should you expect from physiotherapy and how can we help to your daily life?
