Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy and can affect sitting, standing, walking, lifting, and sport participation. Symptoms may arise from acute injury, repetitive loading, prolonged postures, or underlying movement and strength deficits.
Physiotherapy for lower back conditions at Physio Theory focuses on restoring movement confidence, strength, load tolerance, and control rather than avoiding movement altogether. Care is individualized to support return to daily activity, exercise, and sport.

Treatment focuses on building resilience and confidence rather than passive symptom management alone.
Lower back symptoms are often influenced by how force is transferred through the hips, legs, and trunk. When appropriate, performance testing and movement diagnostics may be used to identify strength deficits, asymmetries, or control limitations that contribute to persistent symptoms.
Objective data can help guide progression and reduce recurrence.
Lower back physiotherapy is offered as part of physiotherapy assessments and ongoing treatment programs at Physio Theory. Care is always individualized and aligned with your activity level and goals.
