Dedicated back care for Basingstoke
Physiotherapy care for back pain in Basingstoke
What is back pain?
Back pain is the leading cause of disability, with over 10 million adults affected annually, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and frustrating conditions to navigate.
Often, treatment only focuses on the symptoms and does not address the multi-factors that are driving the discomfort. By treating your back pain through a wider clinical lens, I work to identify these factors and create a treatment strategy that promotes long-lasting physical resilience and symptom management.
How back pain might show up
Pain
Stiffness in lower back
Muscle spasms
Difficulty moving like bending, kneeling or squatting
Pain when sitting or standing for long periods
My approach
I address back pain with an active recovery approach.
This means regular movement of the problematic area to help desensitise the tissues, aid healing and improve functional mobility.

Attend Initial Consultation
At your first appointment, I will take a thorough history of your problem and ask detailed questions about the behaviour of your symptoms and relevant medical history. I will then observe, examine, and test various movements and structures to diagnose your problem and establish the cause of your symptoms.

Answering your back pain questions
-
There are symptoms to look out for which indicate more serious underlying conditions. You should seek immediate medical attention if your back pain is accompanied by any of the following:
Sudden weight loss, generally feeling unwell
Loss of control of your legs, sudden giving-way of your legs
Pain, pins and needles, tingling and numbness in both legs
Loss of feeling around your genitals or anus
Changes in how your penis or vagina feels during sex, not being able to get or keep an erection, or not being able to orgasm
Changes in your bladder or bowels, such as difficulty peeing, or peeing or pooing yourself
Such symptoms could indicate cauda equina syndrome, which concerns the network of nerves that supplies your lower extremities, bowel and bladder.
If you have none of these symptoms, physiotherapy treatment should be safe and effective
-
Sciatica is a pain that runs from the lower back and buttocks down the leg. It may feel:
Painful – stabbing, burning or shooting.
Tingly – like pins and needles.
Numb
Weak
If you experience symptoms of sciatica down both legs, any changes to your urinary or bowel control, sexual dysfunction such as difficulty achieving an erection, or numbness around your buttocks and genital area (this may feel like a change in sensation when wiping), go to the hospital immediately. This could be a sign of something more serious.
