What Is Lower Back Pain Treatment?
At Calyx, treatment begins with a full-body assessment to uncover what’s driving your pain. Using a combination of manual therapy, movement strategies, and postural retraining, we create a care plan that’s safe, effective, and responsive to your lifestyle and goals.
Is This Safe for Me?
Yes. Our treatments are non-invasive, research-backed, and tailored specifically to your stage of life and underlying health conditions. We always conduct a detailed assessment before recommending any treatment approach.
Who Should Consider Lower Back Pain Treatment?
If you are experiencing persistent back pain, limited movement, or tension from poor posture, physiotherapy may help. At Calyx, we support women through all stages of back pain, from sudden flare ups to ongoing discomfort and long term management.
-
Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us online or over the phone. If required, we’ll liaise with your GP or specialist.
-
Are There Any Conditions That May Prevent Me from Getting Treatment?
Some conditions may need medical clearance first. If we spot any concerns during assessment, we’ll guide you. If you cannot visit the clinic, we offer tele-consultations to assess symptoms, offer early care, and advise on next steps.
Symptoms and Signs You May Benefit from Lower Back Pain Treatment
Common signs include:
- Persistent Localised Pain
- Pain That Radiates into the Hips or Legs
- Difficulty Bending, Twisting, or Standing
- Pain That Increases After Sitting or Standing Too Long
- Pain Affecting Your Daily Activities
These symptoms may be linked to postural changes, muscle imbalances, pelvic floor dysfunction, or spinal misalignment. They can also reflect underlying conditions such as pregnancy-related strain, postpartum recovery, or hormonal changes during perimenopause.
What Happens During Your Calyx Session?
Your session will include a full assessment, targeted treatment, movement guidance, and a clear plan to support ongoing recovery.
-
Will There Be an Internal or External Assessment?
We begin with external assessment. If pelvic floor issues are suspected, an internal exam may be recommended with your consent. Your comfort and choice are always respected.
-
Do I Need to Prepare or Bring Anything?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows movement. Any previous scans or reports will also be helpful.
-
What Happens After the Session?
You’ll receive a personalised plan that may include exercises, lifestyle advice, and follow-up session recommendations.
-
Can I Do My First Session via Telehealth?
Yes, we offer tele-rehabilitation as an option, especially for your first session. During a tele-consult, we complete a detailed subjective assessment, address your concerns, and provide early guidance for symptom relief and self-care. We may also ask you to observe certain patterns or collect data (e.g. symptom tracking, posture habits) to better inform your care.
Telehealth also helps us triage effectively, and if we identify the need for a hands-on physical assessment or in-clinic treatment, we’ll recommend an in-person visit. In some cases, if your condition is suitable, we can continue with a full physiotherapy plan remotely.
