Back Issues We Can Help With:
Back pain can hold you back from work, hobbies, or simply enjoying your day. At Lisburn Physio, we specialize in solutions to ease your pain and get you moving again.
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain can disrupt your daily life with discomfort ranging from a dull ache to sharp, restricting pain. It might make simple tasks like bending, standing, or walking feel challenging.
Why it happens: Often, it’s caused by sitting for long periods, lack of regular exercise, poor posture, or improper lifting techniques. Over time, these habits can strain your muscles, joints, and ligaments, leaving your back stiff, sore, and vulnerable to further issues.
How we can help: we use gentle manual therapy to ease tension and reduce pain, combined with tailored exercises to strengthen your back and improve posture. Our personalized plans help you move freely and confidently, so you can get back to the activities you love.
Our goal is to help you get back to the activities you love—whether it’s running pain-free, picking up your kids with ease, or simply bending over without that sharp, nagging pain
Herniated Discs
A herniated disc is when the cushion between the bones in your neck pushes out of place. It’s most common between ages 30 and 50 and can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in your arms. Sometimes, though, it doesn’t hurt at all!
Why it happens: As we age, the discs in our spine lose flexibility and can get damaged more easily. Everyday habits like bending, lifting, or even sitting for long periods can strain your back, especially if your posture isn’t great or there’s extra weight adding pressure.
How we can help: We use hands-on techniques to ease the pressure on your nerves and reduce pain. We’ll guide you through simple, effective exercises to strengthen your back and improve your posture, helping your spine stay supported.
Our goal is to help you get back to doing what you love—whether it’s lifting without discomfort, running pain-free, or enjoying sports again.
Spondylolisthesis
Spondylolisthesis happens when one vertebra slips out of place over another, causing discomfort and limiting movement. It can lead to deep pain in your lower back, which might radiate to your thighs or hips, especially when standing or walking for long periods.
Why it happens: This condition is often caused by trauma or injury to the spine, such as a fall, or it can develop over time due to degenerative changes, like arthritis. It may also be linked to congenital issues or poor posture that places extra strain on the spine.
How we can help: We focus on relieving pain and improving your mobility through hands-on therapy and targeted exercises. These help to strengthen the muscles supporting your spine and reduce pressure on affected areas. If you’ve had surgery, we’ll create a personalized rehabilitation plan to speed up recovery and get you moving confidently again.
Our goal is to help you move with ease again—whether it’s returning to your favourite sport, like running or tennis, or simply bending down to tie your shoes without pain.
DID YOU KNOW?
Consistent aftercare plays an essential role in maintaining a strong, pain-free back. Once your physiotherapy treatment is complete, we’ll guide you to our
massage therapist to help you sustain your progress and avoid reinjury. Preventing future issues is just as crucial as recovery itself.
For specialized treatments, book an appointment at our Belfast Clinic, where injury prevention is prioritized. We offer advanced techniques like dry needling to release muscle tension and promote healing, along with cupping to reduce tightness, improve mobility, and ease discomfort in the back.
