Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most common and frustrating physical issues people face today. Whether it's caused by long hours at a desk, an active job, or simply aging, persistent back pain can significantly impact your quality of life.

At Motion Lab, we specialise in treating lower back pain through evidence-based physiotherapy and targeted massage therapy—helping you move better, feel better, and live pain-free.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain can have several causes. Some of the most common include:

• Poor posture at work or while driving

• Muscle strains from lifting or sudden movements

• Sedentary lifestyle leading to muscle weakness

• Disc injuries, such as bulging or herniated discs

• Degenerative conditions like arthritis

• Stress-related tension, which often settles in the lower back

Knowing the cause is the first step toward effective lower back pain treatment.

Common Symptoms

Lower back pain can show up in a variety of ways:

• Dull, aching discomfort in the lower back

• Sharp pain with movement

• Pain radiating down the leg (sciatica)

• Muscle stiffness or spasms

• Reduced flexibility or range of motion

If these symptoms are disrupting your daily life, it’s time to seek professional support.
