We see people with recent back pain, recurring flare-ups, persistent symptoms and pain that travels into the leg. You might be struggling to get through a shift, find a comfortable position or keep up with training.
We’ll start with what you’ve noticed, what you’re worried about and what you need to be able to do. We’ll assess your movement and, if you have leg symptoms, check how the nerves are working where appropriate.
We’ll explain what the assessment tells us, discuss when further investigation might help and agree on what to do next.
Where you feel the pain, how it changes and what’s making your day harder.
How you’re managing tasks such as sitting, lifting, walking or training.
What you’d like to get back to and what feels manageable right now.
Find ways to adapt the tasks that are hardest and agree on what you can keep doing.
Choose exercises and activity that fit your current capacity, then progress them as you’re ready.
Check how you’re doing, adjust the plan and work towards the activities you want to get back to.
Find us at Suite 2, AMA Place, with on-site parking and lift access. See the Kelvin Grove clinic page for directions and opening hours.

Book onlineMost people with a new episode of lower back pain don’t need a scan straight away. If your assessment suggests a more serious cause or a scan could change your care, we’ll explain the next step.
Tell us if you have pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in your leg. We’ll assess your symptoms and may check strength, sensation and reflexes to help decide what care or referral you need.
Go to an emergency department if you develop new trouble controlling your bladder or bowel, numbness around your genitals or anus, or rapidly worsening leg weakness.
For most people, keeping up with daily activities as much as symptoms allow is helpful. We can help you work out what to keep doing, what to adapt and how to build back up.
