Struggling with Back Pain? Why Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates Are the Gold Standard for Long-Term Relief

Back pain is one of the most common reasons Australians visit their GP or physiotherapist — and it’s not just a problem for athletes or older adults. Whether you’re a desk worker, a busy parent, or recovering from an injury, persistent lower back pain can impact your ability to work, sleep, exercise, and enjoy life.

At Body Form, we specialise in helping people just like you understand what’s causing their back pain — and how to treat and prevent it through a tailored combination of hands-on physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates.

Let’s break down why your back hurts, and more importantly, how we can help.

Why Am I Getting Back Pain?

Common reasons people experience back pain include:

• Poor posture or long hours sitting at a desk

• Weak core muscles or glute imbalances

• Repetitive lifting or movement injuries

• Stress or tension, which can tighten spinal muscles

• Disc issues, like bulges or degeneration

• Pregnancy and postnatal changes

• Previous injuries that were never fully rehabilitated

Often, the cause of back pain is a combination of factors — which is why self-diagnosing via Google rarely works.

How Physiotherapy Helps Relieve Back Pain

At Body Form, our physiotherapists will perform a comprehensive assessment to determine the root cause of your pain. From there, we create a treatment plan that might include:

• Joint mobilisation

• Deep tissue release or dry needling

• Postural retraining

• Ergonomic advice

• Strengthening and stretching exercises

• Referral for scans if needed

Our goal is to get you out of pain quickly — then set you up for long-term improvement.

Why Clinical Pilates is the Secret to Keeping Pain Away

Once your pain is under control, we’ll often recommend Clinical Pilates as a rehabilitative tool. It’s completely different to general gym-based or group Pilates classes.

Our Clinical Pilates programs are:

✔ Tailored to your diagnosis and injury history

✔ Designed by physiotherapists

✔ Progressed gradually based on your ability

✔ Focused on activating your deep core, glutes, and postural muscles

Clinical Pilates helps you:

✅ Rebuild spinal support

✅ Improve flexibility and control

✅ Learn safe movement patterns

✅ Prevent recurring back pain

It’s not about fancy moves — it’s about smart, strategic movement that retrains your body to move well again.
