Back and Neck Pain Physio in Hackney

Back and neck pain ranges from a stiff neck to persistent lower back pain that limits how you sit, lift or run. Common causes include muscle and joint strain, postural load and disc-related irritation. NHS guidance suggests staying as active as you comfortably can rather than resting completely. Seek urgent medical attention if back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, saddle numbness or progressive leg weakness.

At your first assessment we take a full history of how your pain started, what changes it and what you need your back or neck to do. We assess movement, strength and posture, screen for anything needing onward referral, and explain what we think is going on before agreeing a plan together.

Recovery depends on how long you have had symptoms and what is driving them, but most people notice meaningful improvement within a few weeks of consistent treatment and home exercise. We give a realistic sense of timeframes at your first session, not a guarantee, and track progress against your goals.
