Struggling With Lower Back Pain? Here’s How Physiotherapy in Hereford Can Help

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. It can affect your ability to work, sleep, exercise, and carry out everyday tasks.

Lower back pain is pain or discomfort in the lower part of the spine. It can develop suddenly or gradually and is often linked to muscle strain, joint irritation, nerve sensitivity, or movement habits that place too much stress on the back.

If you’re experiencing ongoing discomfort, physiotherapy can help identify the cause and guide you through a structured recovery plan.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain can come from several different sources, including:

  • Muscle strain or ligament sprain

  • Disc irritation or degeneration

  • Poor posture or prolonged sitting

  • Sciatica or nerve compression

  • Lifting or twisting injuries

  • Weak core or hip muscles

  • Arthritis or age related changes, including spinal stenosis

Understanding the cause is the first step toward effective treatment.

How Physiotherapy Helps Lower Back Pain

At KTB Physiotherapy in Hereford, we use a hands-on, evidence based approach to treat lower back and prevent it from returning. Here's how we can help:

1. Thorough assessment & diagnosis

We start with a detailed evaluation of your posture, range of motion, lifestyle, and any past injuries. This helps us identify the root cause of your pain, not just the symptoms.

2. Manual therapy

Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisations and soft tissue massage can relieve tightness, improve movement, and ease pain.

3. Tailored exercise rehabilitation

We design a rehabilitation plan just for you, including stretching, strengthening, and mobility exercises, to restore function and prevent recurrence.

4. Postural & lifestyle advice

We'll coach you on posture and provide practical advice for your work, home, or sport-specific needs.

5. Long-term prevention

We focus on long-term results. That includes regular reassessments and adapting your treatment as you recover.
