physio for back pain relief

getback™ physiotherapy is designed to ‘switch on’ any weakened or injured deep spinal muscles to improve your strength and mobility and reduce pain. It offers one of the most effective back pain treatment options in Melbourne for long-term relief and recovery.

How Does getback™ Treat Back Pain?

Recent guidelines developed by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care recommend people experiencing back pain focus on movement as therapy.

getback™ offers specific, targeted and isolated exercise treatment to mobilise and strengthen the deep spinal muscles associated with back pain. This makes it a highly beneficial low back pain treatment method, suitable for individuals with chronic or acute symptoms.

People with back pain often have significant weakness in these muscles, which play a critical role in stabilising the spine for movement.

When these deep spinal muscles are healthy and strong, they activate in preparation for movement, stabilising the spine and protecting it from excessive range of motion.

During an initial consultation to assess your back pain, the strength and mobility of your spinal muscles are measured. This data is used to design a customised back pain treatment plan with specific and measurable targets.

Hands-on Physiotherapy treatments may be required before moving into exercise-based therapy to ensure effective results.

Safe and Supported Movement-Based Therapy

When pain and loss of strength is involved, it’s vital for patients to start movement-based back pain treatment in a safe and supported way. The most important factor is the ability to control loading through the full range of movement.

getback™ treatment is facilitated by rehabilitation devices which precisely control loading for each exercise in your customised plan, based on your recorded strength data. These devices also provide excellent outcomes for thoracic pain treatment, ensuring spinal stability across different regions of the back.

The devices are designed for isoinertial loading, where loading corresponds to muscle capacity at each point of movement. Regardless of load, your movements will be smooth through the full range of motion, and your exercise is always supported and safe.

How Long Will It Take to Feel Results?

  • After your initial physiotherapy consultation, a customised plan of between 12 and 24 treatments is designed for you.
  • getback™ recommends two treatments of approximately 30 minutes per week.
  • Most patients feel an improvement in their strength and range of movement within four weeks.
  • Patients are able to track their improvement in regular reviews of their data with our Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists.

If you’re looking for targeted back pain treatment in Melbourne, low back pain treatment, or thoracic pain treatment, getback™ Physiotherapy provides measurable and lasting results through technology-driven care.
