Are you dealing with lower back pain?
Lower back pain can be classified as pain or discomfort a person experiences in the lumbar spine area which is the lower part of the back. The lumbar spine is located between the ribs and the pelvis. Lower back pain is a common condition that affects a significant number of individuals at some point in their lives although more common in older adults.
As this condition can compromise your mobility, physiotherapy for lower back pain is usually the most common form of treatment. However, depending on the cause of the pain, physiotherapy is supplemented with exercise, various types of hands-on treatment, stretching, pain medications and in some cases, surgery.
If you’re experiencing:
Pain when sitting, standing or bending
Stiffness or tightness in your lower back
Pain that spreads to the hips or legs
Difficulty lifting or twisting
Ongoing discomfort that isn’t improving
You’re in the right place!
Common causes of lower back pain
Lower back pain is never something to be endured. If you’re wondering how it originated or what is causing it, there are several reasons for back pain including:
-
This occurs when muscles or ligaments in the back are overused or injured due to sudden movements, lifting heavy objects, or poor movement mechanics.
-
This occurs when the cushions between the vertebrae can bulge, pressing on nearby nerves and causing pain.
-
This refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can increase pressure on the spinal cord and nerves causing lower back pain.
-
This condition is the abnormal curvature of the spine. While it is most common in adolescents, scoliosis can cause imbalances and strain on the lower back as a person ages.
-
This refers to the weakening of the bones and is often seen in older adults. Osteoporosis increases the likelihood of fractures in the spine, resulting in pain.
-
Slouching, sitting for long periods, or improper lifting techniques can increase strain on the lower back causing a nagging or constant pain.
-
Conditions like kidney stones, endometriosis, fibromyalgia, and infections are also known to cause lower back pain that translate as a sudden, severe or stabbing pain, or a burning sensation.
How Proform Physiotherapy Can Help
Your discomfort has a story, we read it.
Most standard clinical approaches chase local symptoms. At Proform, we trace the thread—from how you move and manage physical load, to why the discomfort showed up in the first place.
Here is how we redefine your care:
WE LISTEN, THEN WE LOOK
Every body tells a different movement story. Our experienced clinicians assess your full kinetic chain, strength balance, and daily biomechanics. This builds an objective picture of what is driving your limitations—focusing not just on where it hurts, but “why”.
INDIVIDUALISED CLINICAL CARE
Our modern facilities are equipped to support progressive, active rehabilitation. Your care merges tailored manual therapy with structured exercise strategies chosen specifically for your physical presentation—never pulled from a generic template.
PATIENT -CENTERED LONGEVITY
We treat individuals, not just injuries. Your management plan is designed to easily adapt to your training volume, career demands, and lifestyle. We partner with you throughout your rehabilitation journey, providing clear education to ensure you build physical strength that lasts.
Get back to doing what you love, sooner
This is the Proform approach.
We don't hand you a sheet of exercises and send you on your way. You'll work with a physio who explains what's happening, adjusts the plan as you progress, and holds themselves to the same standard you'd expect from any high-performance team.
Same-week appointments available across all seven clinics. Call (02) 8320 6186 or book online.
