Low back pain can show up in all kinds of situations — lifting something awkward, sitting still too long, even without any clear cause at all. You don’t need to be doing anything extreme to end up with back pain. It shows up in people who lift for a living and those who barely move all day. Sometimes it’s athletes. Sometimes it’s people who sit through long meetings.
The pain can be hard to pin down. For some, it's a dragging ache low in the back. Others might get a sudden jolt bending forward, or a tight pull when they twist the wrong way. Sitting still for long stretches can leave you feeling seized up, while moving around might help — or sometimes, make things worse.
For a few, it’s tied to things like disc trouble or nerve irritation, such as sciatica. If it’s not addressed, back pain often finds a way to hang around longer than expected — and get in the way of your usual routine.
How Chartered Physiotherapy Can Help
At Dooney Physio, we don’t jump straight to a diagnosis. We take time to figure out what’s really going on — what’s causing the pain, and what kind of support your body actually needs.
We listen first — because no two cases of back pain are the same. Sometimes it’s sharp and sudden, other times it builds slowly and quietly. By understanding how it started, what’s made it worse, and what it’s getting in the way of, we can shape a plan that actually fits — one that helps you move more freely without adding pressure or guesswork.
Treatment may include:
-
Spinal Mobilisation & Manipulation: Gentle, targeted techniques to restore movement and ease tension.
-
Core Strengthening Exercises: Building deeper support so the back isn’t doing all the work.
-
Pain Management Strategies: Combining pacing, movement, and controlled activity to avoid flare-ups.
-
Posture & Movement Training: Helping you move more efficiently and avoid what’s aggravating the issue.
-
Rehabilitation Programmes: Structured support based on how you respond, not a generic timeline.
