Back & Spine Pain

Back & Spine Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Our team treats both acute and chronic spine conditions, helping clients restore mobility and confidence.

Back Pain Physiotherapy

Back pain can come from poor posture, weak core muscles, or heavy lifting. We identify the root cause and use manual therapy, mobility drills, and strength work to relieve pain and prevent future flare-ups.

Sciatica and Nerve Pain

Sciatica causes sharp pain, tingling, or numbness down the leg. Our physiotherapists use nerve glides, spinal mobility techniques, and strengthening to reduce irritation and restore normal movement.

Herniated Disc / Slipped Disc Rehab

Slipped discs can press on spinal nerves, leading to back or leg pain. Physiotherapy helps reduce pressure and stabilise the spine through posture correction, core stability, and gentle mobilisation.

Postural-Related Back Pain (Desk Workers)

Hours at a desk often cause stiffness and pain. We address office-related back pain with posture correction, stretching, ergonomic advice, and strengthening routines to make sitting less painful.

Scoliosis Management

Scoliosis is a spinal curve that can cause uneven posture and discomfort. Physiotherapy helps by improving muscle balance, spinal mobility, and posture training, reducing pain and supporting long-term function.


Back Pain Physiotherapy in Singapore’s CBD

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy in Singapore. Whether it’s a dull ache from long hours at the desk, sharp pain shooting down the leg, or stiffness after exercise, our physiotherapists specialise in treating the root cause so you can move comfortably again.

At Strength Clinic Academy, we combine hands-on treatment, advanced movement testing, and personalised exercise programs to deliver lasting relief — not just quick fixes.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can show up in many ways. Some of the most common causes we treat include:

  • Postural strain – desk work and long hours sitting can lead to muscle imbalance and stiffness.

  • Slipped / herniated discs – spinal discs pressing on nerves may cause pain in the back or legs.

  • Sciatica and nerve irritation – nerve compression often leads to tingling, numbness, or sharp shooting pain down the leg.

  • Muscle strains – lifting, sports, or sudden movement can overload back muscles.

  • Scoliosis and spinal alignment issues – curvature of the spine may create uneven posture and chronic discomfort.

How Physiotherapy Helps with Back Pain

Physiotherapy doesn’t just mask pain — it addresses the underlying issue. At our clinic, treatment may include:

  • Manual therapy to release tight joints and muscles.

  • Targeted strengthening of core and back muscles to improve support.

  • Posture retraining and ergonomic advice for long-term relief.

  • Movement screening with VALD technology to assess imbalances.

  • Progressive rehab exercises to restore mobility and prevent flare-ups.

Our goal is to reduce pain, restore confidence in movement, and help you return to daily activities or sport without fear of re-injury.
