Lower back discomfort
Lower back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide, yet most cases have a mechanical cause that can be addressed without surgery or long-term medication. Whether your pain is sharp and acute or a dull ache that's been with you for years, Virginia uses ASMI to gently mobilise the lumbar spine, reduce muscle spasm, and help you move freely again. Her approach is calm, paced, and built around your history.
