Kenmore Spinal Pain Physio

Targeted physiotherapy for back pain helps improve strength, posture, and movement, so you can get back to feeling and functioning at your best.

Pain arising from the spine is increasingly common and is often caused by a more sedentary lifestyle and prolonged periods spent at workstations. Postural screening and assessment for spinal problems are an important part of the work of our physiotherapists at KVP.

Our approach to spinal pain involves identifying the source of pain, providing hands-on treatment, correcting the underlying biomechanical causes, and educating patients on how to prevent future episodes.

In addition to assessment and manual treatment, patients are guided through strengthening exercises to improve core stability and stretching exercises to enhance spinal flexibility. We also provide education on postural awareness and good ergonomic habits.

— Common Causes

What Causes Spinal Pain?

At Kenmore Village Physio, we regularly help people in our local community overcome back pain—especially office workers who spend long hours sitting at a desk. Poor posture and workstation setup are common contributors, but back pain is often influenced by a range of factors.

 

Understanding the cause of your pain is the first step toward effective treatment.

Poor Posture

Sitting or standing with poor alignment—like slouching or leaning forward—can place ongoing stress on your spine, muscles, and ligaments. Over time, this can lead to stiffness and pain.

Muscle Strain

Strains can occur from heavy lifting, poor technique at the gym, or even sudden movements like twisting or bending awkwardly.

Degenerative Conditions

As we age, natural wear and tear can affect the spine. Conditions like osteoarthritis or degenerative disc disease may lead to ongoing discomfort or reduced mobility.

Herniated (Bulging) Discs

A disc can bulge or herniate when its inner material pushes outward, sometimes irritating nearby nerves and causing pain that may travel down the legs.

Trauma or Injury

Falls, car accidents, or sporting injuries can lead to acute back pain or longer-term issues if not properly managed.

Lifestyle Factors

Low activity levels, prolonged sitting, excess weight, smoking, and high stress can all increase the likelihood of developing back pain and slow down recovery.

With a strong understanding of spinal anatomy and how pain is processed by the body, physiotherapists play an important role in relieving back pain and supporting recovery.

At KVP, our skilled and caring team combines hands-on treatment, tailored exercise programs, and practical education to help you get back to the everyday activities you enjoy.

  • Pain management
    Our physiotherapists use techniques such as manual therapy, massage, and joint mobilisation to help relieve both acute and persistent back pain.
  • Improved mobility and flexibility
    Targeted exercises and stretches can reduce stiffness, improve movement, and help restore flexibility in the spine.
  • Strengthening muscles
    Weakness in the core, back, glutes, and legs can contribute to lower back pain. Individualised exercise programs help address muscle imbalances and improve spinal support and stability.
  • Postural correction
    We provide guidance on posture, body mechanics, and ergonomics to reduce strain and help prevent future pain.
  • Rehabilitation
    Following a back injury or surgery, physiotherapy can help you rebuild strength, restore mobility, and return to normal daily function.
  • Patient education
    Our physiotherapists provide clear advice and self-management strategies, empowering you to take an active role in your recovery.

Some common physiotherapy techniques for back pain we adopt are:

  • Manual therapy – hands-on techniques to reduce stiffness, reduce pain and improve mobility of muscles and joints
  • Dry needling – to reduce muscle tension
  • Exercise Therapy – providing you with targeted movements to do at home which can build strength and flexibility
  • McKenzie Method - McKenzie Approach is one of the most popular methods physiotherapists use for treating back pain.
  • Clinical Pilates - Our physio-led Clinical Pilates sessions focus on strength, stability, and mobility to help reduce back pain and lower the risk of recurrence.
  • Shockwave Therapy - Its non-invasive nature and effectiveness make it an excellent choice for those seeking alternatives to traditional pain management strategies. Shockwave therapy continues to grow in evidence of its clinical efficacy for lower back pain management.
  • Postural education – helping you sit, stand and move in ways to support your spine and overall posture

Your physio might do some or all these techniques when you visit us, so book an appointment today.
