Lower back pain help in Maylands, Perth
Lower back pain is a common condition that can affect daily activities such as work, exercise, sleep and general movement. It may come on suddenly or develop gradually over time, and symptoms can vary from mild discomfort to more persistent pain or stiffness.
At The Listening Hand, we provide osteopathic assessment and treatment for lower back pain, working with patients to support their movement, function and ability to participate in everyday activities.
Osteopathic treatment may not be appropriate for everyone. Following your assessment, we will discuss whether osteopathic care is suitable for your individual circumstances and, where appropriate, recommend referral to another healthcare practitioner.
Lower back pain often has more than one contributing factor. These may include how your body moves, works, rests and adapts to daily demands.
Common contributors can include:
Prolonged sitting or repetitive movements
Physical strain from work, sport or lifting
Reduced joint mobility or muscle tension
Changes in activity levels
Previous injury
Stress or fatigue affecting movement patterns
Osteopathy takes a whole-body approach, considering how different areas of the body may be influencing your symptoms.
Osteopathy is a regulated, hands-on healthcare approach that focuses on the relationship between structure, movement and function.
At our Maylands osteopathy clinic, treatment for lower back pain may involve:
A thorough case history and physical assessment
Gentle manual techniques that may assist with areas of muscle tension or reduced joint mobility
Advice and management aimed at supporting movement and mobility
Advice tailored to your lifestyle, work and activity levels
Care is individualised and adapted to your needs, comfort and presentation on the day.
