Back Pain / Backache
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Whether it's a dull ache in your lower back, a sharp shooting pain, or stiffness that limits your movement, our team at Actilife Physiotherapy can help you find relief and restore function.
Our approach begins with a thorough assessment to identify the underlying cause — whether it's a muscle strain, ligament sprain, disc issue, postural problem, or a more complex condition like sciatica or spinal stenosis.
Treatment combines hands-on manual therapy (joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, muscle energy techniques) with electrotherapy, dry needling, kinesio taping, and a personalized exercise programme to prevent recurrence.
