Low back pain can stem from a wide range of causes. Some of the most common include:
Poor posture or long hours sitting at a desk
Weakness or imbalance in the core and hip muscles
Joint stiffness or reduced spinal mobility
Sports injuries or sudden awkward movements
Degenerative changes such as disc irritation or arthritis
No two cases are exactly the same — which is why at PhysioHub, our Stockport Physiotherapy team and Middleton Physiotherapy team always takes the time to assess your individual situation and tailor your treatment plan accordingly.
