When back pain starts getting in the way of your training, work, or favourite sport, it’s easy to feel stuck. But with the right support, you will be able to start moving the way you want again.
Back pain shouldn’t stop you living the life you love, and our aim is to help you feel strong, capable and comfortable in your body again. At PerforMotion, we care about your goals and put you at the centre. Through exercise physiology, we focus on movement, recovery and performance. Our coaches and EPs take a tailored, evidence-based approach—listening, communicating and problem-solving to adapt to your needs. Guided by integrity, we follow through and go the extra mile to support better pain management and a confident return to the activities you enjoy.
Back pain can refer to a wide range of conditions—from tension in the neck and thoracic spine to dysfunction or injury in the lumbar region. At PerforMotion, we take a holistic approach to understanding the cause of pain rather than simply treating symptoms. When we treat back pain, we understand its multifactorial and can be affected by such things as mental health, recovery, stress and other psychosocial factors.
Our exercise physiologists assess how your spine, hips, and surrounding musculature are moving together, identifying any mobility restrictions, strength imbalances, or movement inefficiencies that may be contributing to discomfort. From there, we design a tailored rehabilitation and strength program focused on restoring function, improving load tolerance, and helping you return to the activities you enjoy—whether that’s daily movement, sport, or performance training.
By combining education, movement re-education, and progressive strength work, we empower you to build long-term resilience—not just short-term relief. Some common causes of spinal pain include:
