Back Pain Physiotherapy in Solihull & South Birmingham

Back pain is the single largest cause of disability in the UK. If you're in Solihull or South Birmingham and struggling with back pain, physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments available — and you don't even need to leave your home.

When should you see a physiotherapist for back pain?

See a physiotherapist if:

• Your back pain has lasted more than a few days and isn't improving
• Pain is affecting your daily activities, work, or sleep
• You have pain radiating down your leg (sciatica)
• You've had recurrent back pain episodes
• You want to prevent future episodes

Red flags: Seek medical attention immediately if you experience sudden loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around your saddle area, or progressive weakness in both legs.

What does physiotherapy for back pain involve?

Assessment

Your physiotherapist will carry out a thorough assessment of your back, including movement tests, neurological screening, and functional assessment. This helps identify the cause of your pain and the best treatment approach.

Manual therapy

Hands-on treatment including joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and stretching. This can help reduce pain and improve movement in the short term.

Exercise prescription

The most important part of your treatment. Research consistently shows that specific exercises are the most effective long-term treatment for back pain. Your programme will be tailored to your specific condition and home environment.

Education and self-management

Understanding your back pain is key to recovery. We'll help you understand what's causing your pain, how to manage flare-ups, and how to prevent recurrence.
