NORTHERN BEACHES NECK & BACK PAIN PHYSIOTHERAPY
Expert support for neck, mid-back, and lower back pain or injury – whether you’re recovering from an acute episode, managing a long term condition, or dealing with ongoing discomfort, we provide personalised physiotherapy to relieve pain, improve mobility and restore strength, helping you move more freely and get back to the activities you enjoy with confidence.
NECK (CERVICAL)
Neck pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Whether it’s due to poor posture, stress, acute injury, or degenerative changes, neck issues can cause pain, stiffness, headaches, and even tingling or numbness into the arms. It can affect your ability to work, sleep, drive, or move comfortably throughout the day.
Our physiotherapists are trained to assess the cervical spine in detail — identifying the source of your pain and addressing contributing factors such as joint stiffness, muscle tension, nerve irritation, or movement restrictions.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
‣ Whiplash
‣ Headache & Migraine
‣ Wry Neck
‣ Stiff Facet Joint
‣ Pinched Nerve
‣ Pins and Needles radiating into arm(s)
‣ Postural (forward head posture)
MID BACK (THORACIC)
Though often overlooked, the thoracic spine (mid-back) plays a crucial role in posture, breathing, and movement. Pain in this area may present as tightness, stiffness, or aching between the shoulder blades — and it’s often linked to desk work, poor posture, muscle imbalances, or rib joint dysfunction. In some cases, it may refer to the chest or be mistaken for shoulder or neck problems.
Our physiotherapists assess the thoracic spine’s mobility, posture, rib cage movement, and surrounding muscular control to get to the root of the problem.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
‣ Rib Joint Strain
‣ Scoliosis
‣ Kyphosis
‣ Stress fracture
‣ Fractured Rib
‣ Intercostal strain
LOW BACK (LUMBAR)
Low back pain is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide — but it doesn’t have to be a long-term issue. Whether you’re experiencing a sudden episode of back pain or a long-standing condition that flares up with work, lifting, or prolonged sitting, physiotherapy can be highly effective in restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving quality of life.
At Back to Health Physiotherapy, we assess not only the lumbar spine itself, but also how your core, hips, and movement patterns contribute to your symptoms.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
‣ Sciatica
‣ Pinched nerve
‣ Lumbar Disc Bulge
‣ Lumbar Disc Prolapse
‣ Facet joint sprain
‣ Scoliosis
‣ Spondylolisthesis
‣ Lumbar Stress Fracture
‣ Lumbar Spine Osteoarthritis
Frequently Asked Questions
Neck and back pain can arise from posture habits, muscle tension, joint stiffness, or even stress. Sometimes it’s linked to desk work or sleeping positions, other times to lifting or exercise. A physiotherapist can help pinpoint what’s causing your pain and design a plan to relieve it and stop it from coming back.
If it’s been more than a few days, it’s worth booking an assessment so we can find the root cause and get you moving again.
While a short rest can help after an injury, staying still for too long often makes things worse. Gentle movement and targeted exercises usually speed up recovery. Your physio can guide you on what’s safe to do and what to avoid in your specific case.
If you’re unsure how much movement is right for you, book in for a tailored plan rather than guessing.
If your pain lasts more than a few days, keeps recurring, or limits your daily activity — that’s a good time to see a physio. You should also book in straight away if you’re getting pain down your arm or leg, numbness, or tingling.
Early treatment often means faster recovery and less chance of the pain becoming long-term.
Yes — physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for spinal pain. We combine hands-on therapy, exercise, posture retraining, and movement education to reduce pain and restore function.
Each case is unique, so booking a session lets us identify the exact problem and build a program around your needs.
This depends on what’s causing your pain, how long it’s been there, and your activity goals. Many people feel noticeable relief after 1–3 sessions, while longer-term issues may need a structured plan over several weeks.
Your physio will explain what’s realistic for your situation after your first assessment.
