Back Pain (including Sciatica)

Back pain is the most common health condition, with 8 out of 10 adults experiencing some level of back pain in their lives. It can vary from a mild pain or stiffness with certain movements, all the way through an incapacitating level of pain and dysfunction. Back pain can come from a variety of problems. It may be an acute injury, a congenital predisposition, or problems with your workplace setup. It could be the way you sleep or the way you stand. Your muscles may be over developed in one place and underdeveloped in another. Your core stabilisers may not be activating correctly or your sporting technique may be putting pressure on your back.
