Back Pain
Back Pain Physiotherapy
At New Move Physio, back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat for people in Walkden, Worsley, and the surrounding areas. It remains the leading cause of disability in the UK, affecting people of all ages and activity levels—from office workers and parents to runners, gym-goers, and competitive athletes.
Back pain can develop for many reasons. For some, it builds gradually through long hours sitting at a desk, poor posture, or repetitive movements at work. For others, it can come on suddenly after lifting something awkwardly, a sports injury, or even something as simple as bending down. Whether it’s a persistent dull ache, stiffness in the morning, or sharp pain that limits movement, it can quickly interfere with everyday life.
We regularly see people in Walkden and Worsley struggling with simple daily tasks—getting out of bed, driving, working, or playing with their children—because of back pain. For active individuals and athletes, it can be even more frustrating, stopping them from training, competing, or staying consistent with their fitness routines. Ignoring the problem or trying to “push through” often leads to longer-term issues.
At New Move Physio, we understand how disruptive back pain can be. We don’t just look at the symptoms—we take the time to understand your lifestyle, your work demands, and your activity levels to identify the root cause. Whether your goal is to move comfortably day-to-day or get back to peak performance in sport, we tailor our approach to you.
Our aim is simple: help you move better, reduce pain, and get back to doing what matters most to you—whether that’s a full day at work without discomfort, walking around Walkden with ease, or performing at your best in the gym or on the pitch.

We emphasise the importance of helping our patients understand their condition, the source of their pain, and the expected timeline for recovery. We also provide clear guidance on the necessary steps for recovery to support you throughout your healing journey with us.
Manual therapy & rehab
Our physiotherapists use specialised manual therapy techniques to alleviate pain and restore confidence in your body, preparing you for a personalised rehabilitation plan.
You don't need a lengthy list of exercises to improve; often, just one or two effective exercises are sufficient. We will seamlessly incorporate these into your busy schedule.
Root cause
There are many reasons for back pain, and through the history and discovery phase of our assessment, we'll identify the factors that contributed to your pain and how to prevent it from recurring.
Rather than focusing on just one area, we'll evaluate your entire body and alignment during the initial assessment to gain a thorough understanding of your condition.
