Back Pain
Back Pain Treatment in Perth
Back pain is one of the most common conditions we see at Move Physiotherapy, and also one of the most mismanaged. Too often, people are told to rest and wait it out — or given passive treatment that provides short-term relief without addressing why the pain occurred in the first place.
Whether you are dealing with acute back pain from a sudden injury, a recurring issue that flares up regularly, or long-standing stiffness that has been limiting your activity for years, our approach is the same: identify the root cause and treat it. A skilled assessment lets us determine the specific structures involved and build a plan that addresses the cause, not just the symptom. In most cases we can reach a clear working diagnosis without imaging. When imaging is needed, we can refer you directly for X-ray or MRI without requiring a GP visit first.
Our physiotherapists will assess your full movement picture — including the strength of the muscles surrounding and supporting the lumbar spine — identify the contributing factors, and build a plan that combines hands-on treatment with progressive rehabilitation.
We see back pain patients across our four Perth clinics: Beeliar, Booragoon, East Fremantle, and Jandakot. No referral is needed to book.
Technology-Based
Injury Assessment
Included gap-free with every initial assessment.
Move Physiotherapy uses VALD force measurement technology — the same systems used by AFL, NRL and Olympic programs — to objectively measure your strength, symmetry and recovery. This means your physiotherapist can track your progress with clinical precision, making data-driven decisions at every stage of your rehabilitation rather than relying on subjective estimates.
For back pain, differences in strength between sides, and weakness measured in the hips, hamstrings and hip flexors can predispose you to back pain and slow your recovery. VALD testing lets us identify these deficits precisely and track how they change as you progress through treatment.
