How we treat back & neck pain
We start by finding what is actually driving the pain, because back and neck pain is rarely just about the spot that hurts. Your physiotherapist assesses how you move, where the load is concentrated, and what is weak or restricted, then treats the pain directly with hands-on therapy and rebuilds the strength and movement that keep it settled. Where it helps, acupuncture, osteopathy, or chiropractic care run in the same plan rather than at a separate clinic.
Is this you?
- A deep ache in your lower back that worsens after sitting or standing too long.
- Neck stiffness and tension that creeps into headaches by the end of the day.
- Pain that travels into a buttock, leg, shoulder, or arm.
- A back that has gone out before and you want to stop it happening again.
- Morning stiffness that takes longer and longer to loosen off.

Common questions
What patients ask most about back & neck pain.
- Should I see a physiotherapist for back or neck pain?
- Yes, particularly if the pain has lasted more than a week, keeps returning, or travels into a limb. A physiotherapist can diagnose what is driving it and treat the cause, which is what stops it coming back. You do not need a referral to book in BC.
- Should I rest or keep moving with back pain?
- For most back pain, gentle movement helps more than bed rest. Staying still too long tends to stiffen things and slow recovery. The assessment tells us which movements help you and which to ease off, so you are not guessing.
- How long does back and neck pain take to heal?
- Often two to four weeks for relief with the right treatment, though long-standing or disc-related issues take longer. We give you a realistic range after the first visit and build the plan in stages.
- What causes most back and neck pain?
- Usually how you load and hold your body over time rather than one injury: long hours at a desk, repetitive strain, weak supporting muscles, or old movement habits. That is why treating only the sore spot rarely lasts. We treat the pattern behind it.
