Back & spine pain

Tomorrow’s body starts here.

Back or spine pain holding you back? Let’s change that. Move more freely, feel more supported, and get back to trusting your body again.

Clear assessment. Joined-up care. Real progress.

Back and spine pain can come on suddenly or creep in over time. Some people feel a sharp pinch when bending or twisting. Others notice a deep ache across the lower back, stiffness after sitting, or pain that spreads into the hips or legs.

At Perfect Balance, we don’t just focus on where it hurts. We assess how your spine works with your pelvis, hips and core, so we understand what’s driving your symptoms and how to resolve them properly.

Ease Pain.
Find Freedom.

Back or spine pain holding you back? Let’s change that.

Let’s find the root of your back or spine pain… Back and spinal issues can present in many ways. Common symptoms include:

  • A sharp pinch when bending or twisting

  • A deep ache across the lower back

  • Pain spreading into the hips, pelvis or buttocks

  • Morning stiffness or discomfort after sitting

  • Shooting or electric pain down one leg

  • Tightness that limits lifting or exercise

  • A “locking” or catching sensation

  • Weakness when standing or walking

  • Pain that interferes with sleep or daily tasks

Left untreated, these symptoms can place extra strain on the hips, pelvis and surrounding muscles, increasing the risk of flare-ups and long-term movement problems.


Why does back or spine pain happen? Back and spine pain often develops from a combination of factors rather than one single cause. Common contributors include:

  • Reduced spinal movement or joint stiffness

  • Weakness or imbalance in the core and hip muscles

  • Prolonged sitting or awkward working postures

  • Repetitive lifting or sudden increases in training

  • Previous injuries to the back, pelvis or hips

  • Age-related disc or joint changes

  • Stress, fatigue or reduced recovery time

These issues often build quietly over time before becoming painful.

Relief now. Strength for later. Confidence that lasts.

Your personalised treatment plan here at our Perfect Balance clinics may include:

  • Hands-on techniques to ease pain and restore movement

  • Joint mobilisation and soft-tissue therapy

  • Strengthening for spinal stabilisers and core muscles

  • Movement retraining to reduce flare-ups

  • Posture coaching and ergonomic guidance

  • Support returning to work, exercise or sport safely

Our aim is to reduce pain, improve mobility and help you move with confidence again.

Perfect Balance’s approach to back and spine pain means we look beyond the painful area. Your spine is assessed alongside your pelvis, hips, core strength and movement patterns to identify what’s truly driving your symptoms. Our approach includes:

  • A thorough, whole-body assessment

  • Clear explanations of your condition

  • Hands-on treatment combined with structured rehabilitation

  • Collaborative care between physiotherapists, osteopaths and rehab specialists

  • A plan built around your goals, lifestyle and activity level

We focus on long-term improvement, not quick fixes.
