- Formerly Osteo and Physio Epsom
Back pain is one of the most prevalent health complaints, affecting people of all ages. It can stem from various causes, such as poor posture, muscle strain, herniated discs, arthritis, or prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Back pain may be acute, lasting a few days to weeks, or chronic, persisting for months or even years. If untreated, back pain can impact daily activities and quality of life.
Osteopaths take a holistic approach to treating back pain. They perform a thorough assessment to identify the root cause, which could be muscular, skeletal, or related to posture and lifestyle factors. Treatment typically includes gentle hands-on techniques such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilization, and stretching to reduce tension, improve mobility, and promote healing.
In addition to hands-on treatment, osteopaths provide guidance on posture, ergonomic adjustments, and strengthening exercises to prevent recurrence. Whether your back pain is related to an injury, chronic strain, or a degenerative condition, an osteopath can create a tailored plan to help you return to your daily activities with less pain and improved movement.
