Meet our Back Experts

Our physiotherapists are experts in Back pain, injury and recovery. Choose a physio to book an initial consult today and begin your journey back to feeling 100%.

Standing or sitting for a long time is agony if you have back pain. Your back screams when it comes to lifting a weight, especially a squirming kid. Rolling over in bed is excruciating, and you may struggle to stand or walk easily.

70% of back injuries are disc related. We often see back muscle strain and sprains, nerve root irritation, sciatica, and what’s commonly referred to as ‘bulging’ or ‘slipped’ discs. Thoracic kyphosis can also play into headaches, and pain in the ribs and neck. You might notice it when you breathe deeply.

Back treatment options may include manual therapy, massage, postural correction & education, dry needling, joint mobilisation, ergonomic workplace assessment, set up and modifications, and targeted home & gym-based exercises program.

At Macquarie Physiotherapy, our expert physios are passionate about treating the cause of your back injury, so you can live free from pain and move easily.
