Back Pain
Back pain can affect every part of your life, from getting out of bed in the morning to working, exercising or enjoying time with your family. Whether your pain started suddenly after lifting something heavy or has gradually developed over time, we’re here to help.
We commonly help people with:
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica
- Muscle strains
- Disc-related pain
- Facet joint pain
- Stiff backs
- Pain after lifting
- Sports-related back injuries
- Persistent back pain
At Elite Performance Therapy, we begin with a thorough assessment to identify the cause of your symptoms before creating a personalised treatment plan. Your first appointment includes both assessment and treatment where appropriate, helping you get back to moving comfortably as quickly as possible.
What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can have many different causes. It may develop following an injury, repetitive strain, poor posture, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting or changes in activity levels. In some cases, the pain may come from muscles, joints, ligaments, discs or nerves.
A thorough assessment helps identify the likely cause of your symptoms so treatment can be tailored to your individual needs rather than simply focusing on the area where you feel pain.
How We Can Help
At Elite Performance Therapy, every treatment begins with a thorough assessment to understand what’s causing your back pain.
Treatment may include hands-on therapy, soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work, a personalised rehabilitation programme and, where appropriate, medical acupuncture (dry needling). Every treatment plan is tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Our goal isn’t simply to ease your symptoms. We want to improve the way your body moves, reduce the likelihood of your pain returning and help you get back to doing the things you enjoy.
Keeping Your Back Healthy
Small changes often make a big difference. Improving posture, strengthening your core, staying active and taking regular movement breaks can all help reduce the risk of back pain returning.
Understanding the cause of your symptoms is just as important as treating them, which is why we always combine hands-on treatment with practical advice and rehabilitation where appropriate.
We’ll also provide practical advice and simple exercises to help you recover, stay active and reduce the risk of your back pain returning.
Ready to Get Back to Moving Comfortably?
If back pain is affecting your work, sport or everyday life, we’re here to help. Early assessment and treatment can often prevent a small problem from becoming a long-term issue.

What our clients say:
I was recommended by a PGA coach to go and see Izy Fergusson when he noticed the back pain I was experiencing as I normally wait for pains to just magically leave. Luckily I did as my pain I believe was steaming from a snowboarding accident I had a number of years ago. Izy was and has been amazing ever since. We have regular texts updating the stages of our treatment and to help gage the progress of the injury. I would highly recommend her services as she is obviously at the top of her trade. Can’t thank her enough
