Back Pain Physiotherapy
Personalised treatment plan
Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal problems, affecting people of all ages and lifestyles. It can develop suddenly from an injury or gradually over time due to poor posture, repetitive strain, or underlying conditions. Back pain may occur in the lower back (lumbar spine), mid-back (thoracic spine), or upper back (cervical spine).
What Does Back Pain Cause?
Back pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, debilitating pain that disrupts daily life. It may lead to:
- Stiffness and reduced mobility in the spine
- Pain that radiates into the hips, buttocks, or legs (sciatica)
- Muscle weakness and reduced core stability
- Difficulty with everyday tasks such as bending, lifting, or sitting for long periods
- Sleep disturbances due to discomfort at night
If left untreated, recurrent or chronic back pain can impact your ability to work, exercise, and enjoy normal activities — significantly affecting your quality of life.
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Back Pain?
Back Pain Physiotherapy in Birmingham is an effective, evidence-based way to treat both acute and chronic back problems. A physiotherapist will conduct a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your pain and develop a tailored treatment plan. This may include:
- Strengthening exercises to build core and back muscles, improving spinal stability.
- Stretching and flexibility programmes to relieve stiffness and restore normal movement.
- Manual therapy techniques, such as joint mobilisations and soft tissue release, to reduce pain and tension.
- Posture correction and ergonomic advice to prevent strain during daily activities or work.
- Pain management strategies, including movement pacing, relaxation techniques, and the use of heat/cold therapy.
- Education and prevention advice to reduce the risk of future flare-ups.

Highly recommend.
I had been dealing with persistent shoulder pain that was affecting my daily life and sleep. After trying various treatments with little success, I visited caregate clinics, where Raj recommended shockwave therapy. The results were amazing!

Very happy with treatment.
My arm had no good movement after stroke. Walking was very hard, very slow. Raj helped me lot. He gave very good exercises, was very patient with me. Now my arm is stronger, I can hold things better. My walking is also better, more balance.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!
I had been struggling with severe lower back pain and sciatica, which made even the simplest tasks unbearable—especially sleeping. After seeing Raj my pain levels reduced significantly, and for the first time in weeks, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.

So grateful for the support and dedication.
At 77 years old, I was struggling with persistent leg pain that made even simple daily activities difficult. From my very first visit, I was treated with such kindness, patience, and professionalism. Their expert care has made a real difference, and I now feel much more confident in managing my pain.

I’m back to doing what I love!
I sprained my ankle playing sports, and at first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back to my usual activities. They provided me with exercises that were perfect for my age and helped me regain strength and mobility.
