Back pain can make everyday activities such as sitting, lifting, driving, working and sleeping uncomfortable.
Some episodes begin suddenly after a particular movement or injury. Others develop gradually and may return repeatedly without an obvious cause.
At Loughran Physiotherapy, we assess how your back pain is affecting your movement and daily life before creating a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan.
