When should you see a physiotherapist for lower back pain?
Lower back pain can have many causes and does not always need the same approach. If it lasts several days, limits your activities or keeps returning, an assessment can help you understand the problem and decide on the next steps.

When an appointment may help
Consider an assessment if pain affects work, sleep, sport or everyday movement, or if it keeps returning despite basic self-care.
What happens during the first assessment
We discuss how the pain started, what changes it and your goals. The assessment helps us explain suitable care options for your situation.
When to seek medical care
Seek urgent medical care for sudden loss of strength, extensive loss of sensation, fever, major trauma or new changes in bladder or bowel control.
Frequently asked questions about pain and injuries
Do I need to wait until the pain is severe?
Not necessarily. If pain limits your activities or keeps returning, you can request an assessment while it is still manageable.
Is physiotherapy only for muscle tightness?
No. Physiotherapy can address movement, pain and functional recovery with an individual plan.
