Back pain treatment
Back muscle spasm
Does this sound like you?
- Your back suddenly 'locks' after bending or lifting
- A hard, tight band of muscle you can feel with your hand
- You can't stand up straight or turn without sharp pain
How we treat it
What to expect
- First session: about 1 hour 15 minutes (assessment and treatment)
- We'll tell you how many sessions to expect after your assessment
Common questions
Should I rest until the spasm settles?
Gentle movement usually helps more than bed rest. We'll show you what's safe to do while it eases.
Can you see me while it's still very painful?
Yes. We adjust the treatment to how you feel on the day and start gently.
How do I stop it coming back?
We'll give you a short set of exercises to strengthen your back and tell you how to lift and move with less strain.
