Did you know that around 90% of lower back pain cases are considered “non-specific”?
In research, non-specific lower back pain means the pain can’t be linked to a single clear cause like a fracture, infection, or major nerve compression.
For many people, lower back pain is influenced by a combination of factors — including muscles and joints, movement patterns, nervous system sensitivity, lifestyle, and stress.
The good news? Physiotherapy can help you understand your pain and support you in finding ways to move and feel better.
