Conditions I treat

Lower back & recurring pain

Your back isn't broken. It's usually under-built for what you're asking of it.

What's actually going on

It's rarely just the sore bit.

Most recurring back pain isn't structural damage. The findings that scare people - bulging discs, 'wear and tear' - show up just as often in people with no pain at all. What's usually going on is a capacity problem: the tissue can't handle the load life is putting through it, so it flares. Rest settles it, but it doesn't change the thing underneath - which is why it keeps coming back.

How I treat it

Find it. Calm it. Rebuild it.

So I don’t chase the ache with passive treatment alone. We find where your back is actually losing the argument with load, calm the pain and the worry around it, then rebuild the strength and capacity so it holds - not just until the next flare.

01
Find the real cause

Why it keeps happening - not just where it hurts.

02
Calm the system

Settle the pain and the worry, so you can move and trust it again.

03
Rebuild for good

Build the capacity back so it holds - not just until the next flare.

Common questions

Before you book.

Do I need a scan or a referral first? +
Usually not. Most lower back & recurring pain cases don't need a scan to start, and you can book directly without a referral (referrals are only for WorkCover, DVA or a Medicare care plan).
How long until I feel a difference? +
It varies with the person and how long it's been going on - but you'll leave the first session understanding what's driving it and what the plan is.

Let's sort it properly.

Same-week appointments. It starts with a proper assessment.
