How Physiotherapy and Pilates Help Prevent Lower Back Pain

Why Lower Back Pain Is So Common

Lower back pain affects millions of people and is one of the leading causes of time off work and reduced quality of life. Whether it’s due to prolonged sitting, poor posture, sports injuries, or stress, the pain often stems from weakness and imbalance in the muscles supporting your spine.

Did you know?

Strengthening your core and improving your posture can significantly reduce your risk of developing lower back pain.

Physiotherapy – More Than Just a Quick Fix

At Southgate Physio, we take a comprehensive approach to back care. Our physiotherapists are highly experienced in assessing and treating the underlying causes of lower back pain.

Our physiotherapy services include:

• In-depth posture and movement assessments
• Manual therapy to reduce stiffness and discomfort
• Targeted exercise plans for long-term relief
• Education on how to move better in everyday life

Tailored Strengthening Programs

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to back pain. That’s why we develop a personalised strengthening program that matches your goals, fitness level, and lifestyle.

Our programs focus on:

• Core stability and control
• Glute and hip strength
• Improved flexibility and alignment

These routines are designed to evolve as you get stronger, helping you prevent future pain and build lifelong back health.
