Physiotherapy doesn’t just focus on making the pain disappear for now—it’s about creating sustainable change that keeps the pain away for good. Here’s how our approach at CPS tackles recurring pain: 

1. Thorough Assessment and Diagnosis:

• We start by assessing your posture, movement patterns, muscle strength, and joint mobility. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand the real cause behind your recurring pain. 

2. Personalized Treatment Plans:

• No two people experience pain the same way. Our tailored physiotherapy programs address your unique issues, whether it’s postural corrections, strength deficits, or flexibility improvements. 

3. Restoring Muscle Balance:

• We target muscle imbalances through a combination of strengthening and stretching exercises, aimed at stabilizing your spine and improving overall function. 

4. Postural Retraining:

• We teach you how to maintain optimal posture during daily activities, reducing unnecessary stress on your neck and lower back. 

5. Functional Movement Rehabilitation:

• Whether it’s bending, lifting, or sitting, we train you to perform these movements safely and efficiently, helping reduce the risk of re-injury. 

6. Ongoing Education and Self-Management:

• We empower you with knowledge on ergonomics, lifestyle changes, and home exercises to maintain progress between sessions. 

Traditional treatments often focus on quick fixes like pain medication or basic stretches. While these can be helpful for short-term relief, they rarely address the underlying issues that cause the pain to come back. Physiotherapy, on the other hand, takes a holistic approach by: 

• Identifying dysfunctional movement patterns 

• Correcting muscle imbalances 

• Addressing both physical and lifestyle factors 

• Encouraging active participation in your recovery 

Our goal at CPS is not just to help you feel better temporarily but to guide you toward long-lasting relief. By addressing the root causes, we help you break free from the frustrating cycle of neck and lower back pain. 

Understanding the Mind-Body Connection in Recurring Pain

It’s not just physical factors that keep your neck and lower back pain coming back—mental and emotional stress play a significant role too. When stress levels rise, your body responds by tightening muscles, especially around your neck, shoulders, and lower back. Over time, this tension becomes a habitual response, leading to chronic pain and stiffness. Additionally, the frustration and anxiety of dealing with recurring pain can make your muscles even more reactive, creating a cycle that’s hard to break.

At CPS, we take a holistic approach by not only addressing the physical causes of your pain but also helping you manage stress and tension that may be contributing to it. Our physiotherapists incorporate relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and mindful movement practices alongside targeted physical treatments. By acknowledging the mind-body connection, we help you build a more resilient and balanced body, so you can feel more in control of your pain and recovery journey.

It’s easy to overlook the small, everyday habits that keep your neck and lower back pain coming back. From how you sit at your desk to the way you lift groceries or even how you sleep, these routines can slowly build tension and strain without you realising it. Our bodies adapt to the positions and movements we repeat daily – and if those patterns are flawed, they can reinforce muscle imbalances and stress on your spine.

That’s why at CPS, we don’t just focus on therapy within the clinic – we also help you identify problematic habits and teach you practical adjustments. Whether it’s ergonomic tips for your workspace, guidance on proper lifting techniques, or simple stretches to break up sedentary periods, we aim to integrate better habits into your routine. This holistic approach not only breaks the pain cycle but also builds resilience, allowing you to maintain progress long after your sessions with us.
