Low Back pain treatment
What is low back pain?
Back pain is unpleasant but very common. Approximately 80% of people will experience low back pain at some point in their lives. Many will experience it more than once. Luckily most low back pain isn’t serious or permanent, but sometimes it helps to see a professional with experience in treating low back pain to speed your recovery along.
At Pivot Osteopathy, we see people with back pain everyday. Pain can arise from a variety of causes such as:

Exercises and/or stretches. We target the key exercises that will help get your back moving better. If you already have a Personal Trainer, Exercise Physiologist or other exercise therapist working with you, we can work with them too.
