Back Pain

Back pain is a common condition that can affect your ability to sit, stand, walk, work, exercise, and perform everyday activities. It may result from poor posture, muscle strain, prolonged sitting, injuries, spinal conditions, or weakness of the supporting muscles.

When Should You Seek Physiotherapy?
