Spine Physiotherapy
In broad terms, spine physiotherapy covers various areas of the spine and includes a wide range of treatments and pain management options. This may involve rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injuries, as well as treatment for chronic lower back and neck pain.
At Rapid Physiocare, we offer three key services: spinal rehabilitation, spinal decompression, and postural ergonomic assessment. A significant portion of the population suffers from lower back and neck pain due to poor posture, long hours at a desk, and other medical conditions. If left untreated, these spinal conditions can worsen, leading to increased tension around the neck, back, and shoulders. Chronic pain can also lead to higher medical costs, reduced productivity, and even disability.
Our goal is to provide effective spine care and spine treatment to help manage pain and promote recovery.
How Can Spine Physiotherapy Help?
Spine physiotherapy is focused on helping patients restore normal movement patterns and posture, reducing pain and stiffness in the neck and back. Treatment plans often include joint mobilization, flexibility exercises, posture correction, and strengthening routines.
We understand that regular exercise, when done in moderation, can benefit those suffering from low back and neck pain. However, consulting a physiotherapist is crucial to ensure you’re performing the right exercises in the right amounts to avoid further injury.
Patients experiencing severe pain due to spinal compression or a loss of strength are often advised to undergo spine physiotherapy both before and after surgery. Additionally, individuals dealing with lumbar spondylosis may benefit from tailored lumbar spondylosis treatment to improve mobility and manage discomfort effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a spinal physiotherapist do?
A spinal physiotherapist helps you recover from back pain or injury by designing movement plans that reduce pain, improve posture, and restore strength and flexibility. They guide you through safe exercises, use hands-on techniques, and teach proper movement – whether you’re recovering from injury, adapting to ageing changes, or chronic stiffness. The goal? To help you move confidently and return to your daily activities with less discomfort.
Can walking strengthen your spine?
Yes — walking is a simple but powerful way to support your spine. Each step activates your core, back, and leg muscles, which stabilize the spine and improve circulation to spinal tissues. Over time, regular walking can boost back flexibility, reduce stiffness, and lessen the risk of strain or injury.
How can I heal my spine naturally?
Natural spinal healing emphasizes consistent movement, gentle strengthening, and healthy posture. Practicing tailored exercises for your core and back, walking regularly, and applying heat or gentle stretches can reduce pain and promote blood flow. A spinal physiotherapist can guide the right plan for your specific needs while you rest and recover.
How to Recognize When Back Pain Might Be Serious?
Most back pain improves in a few days, but visit a doctor promptly if you notice any of the following:
- Pain lasting more than a week or progressively worsening
- Sharp or shooting pain into your legs or buttocks
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in legs
- Bowel or bladder changes, fever, or pain after a fall
These signs may point to nerve or structural issues that need urgent attention.
What is the best sleeping position for back pain?
Sleeping in a way that supports your spine’s natural alignment may minimize back strain:
- On your back: Place a pillow under your knees and consider a small roll under your lower back for support.
- On your side: Keep feet aligned and place a pillow between your knees to relieve spinal pressure.
Avoid sleeping on your stomach—it twists your spine and strains your neck.
Is massage or physiotherapy better for back pain?
Both can help but they serve different purposes. A massage offers quick relief by relaxing tight muscles and easing discomfort. Physiotherapy, however, addresses the root cause like poor movement or muscle weakness—and provides a long-term plan for strength, flexibility, and posture. Often, massage complements physiotherapy but is not a substitute.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need for back pain?
The number of sessions varies, depending on your injury and progress. A typical program might start with 2–3 sessions per week, gradually reducing as your strength and mobility improve. Your physiotherapist will adjust the plan based on your healing journey and how your spine responds.
