Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal conditions and can affect people of all ages, interfering with work, exercise and everyday activities. It may develop suddenly after lifting, sport, or an awkward movement, or gradually over time due to repeated strain or prolonged sitting.

At Redefine Health Osteopathy, we take the time to assess and understand what could be contributing to your symptoms and can provide hands on treatment and a personal management plan to help you get relief from pain and move better.

How Osteopathy can help:

Osteopathy focuses on finding and treating the underlying factors contributing to your back pain, not just the pain itself.

  • Assessment and diagnosis of your condition

  • Hands on treatment to relieve pain and improve mobility

  • Exercise prescription to improve strength and muscle imbalances that may be contributing to your pain
