How Physiotherapy Can Help
Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing back and neck pain, especially when the source is muscular, mechanical or posture-related. Our approach goes beyond short-term relief — we focus on long-term strength, movement quality and body awareness.
We commonly treat:
- Lower back pain and stiffness
- Neck tension and limited range
- Disc bulges, herniations or sciatica
- Postural strain from desk work or manual labour
- Chronic spinal pain linked to inactivity or injury history
Treatment may include manual therapy, spinal rehab equipment, movement retraining and home-based exercises. We tailor every plan to your body, goals and level of activity. Book an assessment with us to begin.

FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
What is the best treatment for chronic back pain?
Effective treatment for chronic back pain depends on the underlying cause but often includes a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercise, education and pain management strategies. Progressive spinal rehabilitation programs like getback™ are designed to improve spinal mobility, strengthen deep core muscles and restore functional movement over time, offering long-term support for persistent pain.
Can physiotherapy help with neck pain from poor posture?
Yes. Physiotherapy can address neck pain caused by poor posture through a mix of manual therapy, postural retraining, mobility work and strengthening exercises. Education on ergonomic setup and movement patterns is also an important part of recovery, particularly for those with sedentary jobs or frequent device use.
What is the getback™ program?
The getback™ program is a specialised spinal rehabilitation system designed for people with chronic neck or back pain. It uses computer-assisted equipment to safely target and activate deep spinal muscles that are difficult to engage through traditional exercise alone. The program is evidence-based, suitable for all fitness levels and aims to improve control, mobility and long-term outcomes.
Does private health insurance cover physiotherapy?
If you have ancillary or extras cover in your policy, you’ll need to check with your fund with regards to the level of cover. We have the HICAPS system to allow for Health Fund claims at the practice.
