Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek medical help—and for good reason. Whether it's a dull ache from sitting at a desk all day or a sharp pain after lifting something heavy, back issues can significantly impact your quality of life. The good news? Physiotherapy is one of the most effective and proven ways to treat back pain, especially when guided by experienced clinicians like those at Muscle People Physiotherapy in Christchurch.

Why Choose Physiotherapy for Back Pain?

Unlike painkillers or passive treatments that offer temporary relief, physiotherapy targets the root cause of your discomfort. At Muscle People Physiotherapy, our team works with you to understand your pain, diagnose the issue, and develop a customised treatment plan designed for long-term relief and prevention.

Key benefits of physiotherapy for back pain:

• Reduces pain and inflammation

• Improves posture and spinal alignment

• Strengthens core and back muscles

• Restores mobility and flexibility

• Prevents future flare-ups

Our Christchurch physios regularly help clients with a wide range of back-related issues, including:

• Lower back pain (lumbar strain)

• Sciatica or nerve pain

• Herniated or slipped discs

• Postural back pain

• Chronic back pain

• Sports-related back injuries

If you're dealing with any of the above, physiotherapy is a clinically proven approach to help you feel better and move more freely.
