Early physiotherapy, movement and exercise is the quickest way to recovery from back pain

Did you know...
75% of all adults will experience an episode of back or neck pain pain at some stage in their life. Some will be severe and some will be prolonged or recurrent. However, 80% of all cases are what are called “ simple mechanical back pain”. Its cure lies in early, effective physiotherapy and timely exercise. This is what is recommended by the Royal College of General Practitioners and the National Clinical Standards Advisory Group on the Management of Back Pain.

Physiotherapy treatment for back and neck pain involves a combination of spinal manipulation, soft tissue manipulation, exercise and movement advice. Importantly, physiotherapy helps to identify the cause of your back or neck pain in order to provide you with self management strategies.

Physiotherapists at EMPC are all trained and experienced in spinal manipulation and the latest spinal treatment approaches. We also specialise in postural rehabilitation.

Ask your physiotherapist about postural rehabilitation and personal exercise plans. These are an important part of full recovery from back pain.
