    Non-invasive spinal therapy

    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.

    What you might notice

    • Aching or sharp pain in the lower back
    • Flare-ups after lifting, twisting, or prolonged sitting
    • Stiffness first thing in the morning
    • Difficulty standing upright or walking for long
    • Fear of moving — 'guarding' against pain

    How Virginia can help

    • ASMI targets the lumbar spine with gentle, progressive mobilisation
    • Reduces muscle spasm that is often the primary source of pain
    • Clear pacing and graded exposure help rebuild confidence in movement
    • Education reduces fear and breaks the pain-avoidance cycle
    • A balanced plan covering both treatment sessions and daily activity

    Frequently asked questions

    My lower back pain comes and goes — should I still book?
    Recurring flare-ups are a sign that the underlying issue hasn't resolved. Coming in between episodes (rather than waiting for the next one) often means faster, more lasting results. Virginia can help identify the pattern and reduce recurrence.
    Do I need a GP referral?
    No referral is needed. You can book directly. However, if you have any neurological symptoms — such as numbness or weakness in your legs — Virginia may ask you to get medical clearance first, as these can indicate a more serious issue.
    I've had lower back pain for years. Is it too late?
    The duration of your problem doesn't limit what can be achieved. Many of Virginia's clients have had long-standing back pain and have found meaningful improvement. Your treatment will be tailored to your specific history and goals.
