Back Pain is What We Do
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy — and one of the most complex to treat well. At Envision Physiotherapy, our team has decades of combined experience assessing and treating the full spectrum of lumbar conditions, from simple muscle strains to complex disc herniations and chronic pain syndromes.
Our approach starts with a thorough assessment. Back pain is rarely caused by just one thing — posture, movement patterns, muscle imbalances, stress, and previous injury history all play a role. We identify the contributing factors and address them directly, rather than just treating symptoms.
Back Conditions We Treat
- Acute lower back strain
- Chronic lower back pain
- Lumbar disc herniation and bulge
- Sciatica and radiculopathy
- Spinal stenosis
- Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
- Facet joint irritation
- Post-surgical lumbar rehabilitation
- Core weakness and deconditioning
Manual Therapy + Exercise = Results
Research consistently shows that the most effective approach to back pain combines manual therapy with targeted exercise. At Envision, your treatment plan may include joint mobilization or manipulation, soft tissue work, IMS dry needling, nerve gliding techniques, and most importantly — a structured exercise program designed specifically for your condition and lifestyle.
For patients with chronic or recurrent back pain, we often integrate Clinical Pilates into the rehabilitation program. The controlled, low-impact nature of Pilates is ideal for rebuilding core stability without aggravating sensitive tissues. Our physiotherapist-led Pilates instructors understand back pain intimately and know how to progress or regress exercises appropriately.
