Back pain and sciatica rehab in Standish, Wigan

Back pain rehabilitation at our Standish clinic for people across Wigan, with assessment, hands-on treatment and progressive exercise tailored to your needs.

Who back pain rehab can help

Back pain rehab may be suitable if you are dealing with recurring lower back pain, stiffness, discomfort after training, work-related aches, or pain that is affecting how confidently you move.

How we approach it

We look at your symptoms, lifestyle, movement, strength and goals before building a plan that suits you. Treatment may include hands-on therapy, rehabilitation exercises, mobility work and strength coaching depending on what you need.

More than short-term relief

Our goal is to help you understand what may be contributing to your back pain, not just settle symptoms for the day. That may mean improving strength, mobility, confidence, training habits or day-to-day movement patterns.

If sports massage is useful, we can include hands-on treatment. If you need a more structured injury rehabilitation plan, we can guide you through that too.

Support for sciatica and radiating leg symptoms

Explore our dedicated sciatica rehabilitation page for assessment, support and guidance on when to seek medical help.

Sciatica commonly involves symptoms travelling through the buttock and down one leg, which may include pain, tingling, numbness or weakness. Not every back or leg symptom is sciatica, so the first step is understanding your presentation and whether rehabilitation is appropriate.

Where appropriate, support may include advice about staying active, graded movement, strength work and a progressive return to normal activities. We refer you for medical assessment when symptoms fall outside our scope or need further investigation.

Seek urgent medical help if symptoms affect both sides, severe or worsening weakness or numbness develops in both legs, there is numbness around the genitals or bottom, or bladder or bowel control changes. See the NHS sciatica guidance for full details.
