Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Whether it's acute pain from a sudden movement, chronic low back pain, or sciatica shooting down your leg, understanding what's happening is the first step to recovery.

The good news is that most back pain improves with time and the right approach. The spine is remarkably resilient, and research consistently shows that staying active, within comfortable limits, leads to better outcomes than bed rest.

In this topic, we'll explore the causes of back pain, when to be concerned, evidence-based treatment approaches, and exercises that can help you recover and prevent future episodes.
