Back Pain Physiotherapy Neutral Bay: How Physio Can Help You Move Better

Physiotherapy for Back Pain in Neutral Bay offers targeted, evidence-based care to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help prevent future flare-ups. At L&C Quality Healthcare, we provide individualised physiotherapy treatment to help you return to work, sport, and everyday activities with confidence.

Understanding Common Causes of Back Pain and How Physiotherapy Can Help

At L&C Quality Healthcare, our physiotherapists frequently treat the three most common causes of lower back pain:

  • Herniated or bulging discs: Often cause pain that radiates to the buttocks or legs and may include numbness or weakness.
  • Facet joint dysfunction: Tends to cause localised discomfort in the lower back, occasionally radiating to the hips.
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction: Usually presents as a dull ache on one side, often spreading to the hip or thigh.

Back Pain Physiotherapy in Neutral Bay can help identify and manage these conditions through manual therapy, targeted exercises, and posture correction.

Physiotherapy is not just about pain relief – it’s about addressing the cause and building long-term resilience. At our Neutral Bay clinic, physiotherapists may use:

  • Manual therapy to restore spinal and joint mobility

  • Strengthening and mobility exercises for the core and hips

  • Postural correction and ergonomic advice

  • Taping, dry needling, or heat therapy for symptom relief

  • Education to empower you with self-management tools

We tailor treatment to your body, your goals, and your lifestyle.

    At L&C Quality Healthcare, our care pathway follows three key stages:

    1. Pain relief and early movement – Reduce discomfort and restore confidence in motion

    2. Rehabilitation and strengthening – Address muscle imbalances and movement patterns

    3. Maintenance and prevention – Build long-term resilience to minimise recurrence

    We’ll meet you where you’re at – your care is guided by your goals.

    Back pain can come from a variety of sources, including:

    • Physical strain (injury, inactivity, poor posture)

    • Emotional stress, leading to muscle tension

    • Systemic or visceral referrals (e.g. gut, kidneys)

    • Chemical imbalances (e.g. diet, medications)

    • Pregnancy-related musculoskeletal changes

    • Non-specific low back pain — the most common type, without a clear structural diagnosis

    Our physiotherapists work with you to identify contributing factors and address them holistically.

    • Acute pain: Short-term, often due to injury. Easier to resolve with timely treatment.
    • Chronic pain: Longer than 3 months, may involve sensitised pain pathways.
    • Neuropathic pain: Nerve-related (e.g., burning, tingling, shooting).
    • Nociceptive pain: From joints, muscles, or tissues.
    • Radicular pain: Nerve root compression like sciatica.

    Back pain can affect every aspect of life: work, movement, mental health, and social activities. One in six Australians reports back problems at any given time, with many experiencing recurring or chronic issues.

    Symptoms might include:

    • Localised or radiating pain

    • Stiffness and reduced movement

    • Difficulty sitting, standing, or walking

    • Fatigue or sleep disturbance

    • Worry or frustration about pain’s impact

    Physiotherapy helps restore function, reduce pain, and improve your confidence in movement.
