Back Pain Physiotherapy in Canberra
NeoPhysio provides evidence-based assessment and treatment for lower back pain, sciatica and disc-related pain for adults living and working in Florey, Belconnen and across Canberra.
Who is this treatment for?
Adults with acute, recurrent or persistent lower and mid back pain — including desk workers, tradespeople, gym-goers, parents and older adults across the ACT.
What symptoms does it help?
- Dull or sharp lower back pain that worsens with sitting, standing or lifting
- Pain that radiates into the buttock or leg (sciatica)
- Stiffness in the morning or after long periods in one position
- Difficulty bending, twisting or getting out of a chair
- Muscle spasm or a feeling of the back 'locking up'
When should you see a physiotherapist?
See a back pain physiotherapist if pain has lasted more than a few days, is affecting your sleep or work, is recurring, or is accompanied by leg pain, pins and needles or weakness.
What happens during treatment?
Your first appointment is a 60 minute consultation. Adam takes a thorough history, screens for anything that needs medical review, then assesses your movement, strength and specific painful structures. Treatment usually combines hands-on therapy, targeted exercise, and clear education so you understand what is driving your pain and how to settle it.
How long does recovery usually take?
Most simple back pain settles substantially within 2–6 weeks with the right rehabilitation. Recurrent or disc-related pain often needs 8–12 weeks of structured loading to build lasting resilience. Timeframes vary — you will get a realistic plan at your first visit.
