Back pain is the most common type of musculo skeletal pain and 70% of adults will suffer from back pain at some time in their lives.
It can vary from a mild attack of muscular pain to a full blown disc rupture requiring surgery.

Our hands on approach is coupled with a strong education element where we will explain the possible causes of the pain as well as the approaches to its management. We will also liaise with your doctor if further investigation is required.

The Irish Life Health Back Up programme supports early intervention through physiotherapy for acute neck and back pain so that you can benefit from expert care and advice to ensure a speedy recovery. This physiotherapy treatment will also help reduce the risk of progression or recurrence of the current pain/symptoms. The Back Up programme recognises the importance of full rehabilitation following an episode of spinal pain. The scheme allows for up to 6 physiotherapy treatment sessions from initial assessment, including physiotherapy/manual therapy for pain relief through to rehabilitation and strengthening programmes.
