Understanding Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Whether it’s from long hours sitting, a sports injury, poor posture or chronic strain, ongoing back pain can limit your movement, sleep, and confidence.

At Sport & Spine Physiotherapy Adamstown, our experienced team uses Clinical Pilates to help clients in Newcastle and the Hunter Region relieve pain, rebuild strength, and prevent flare-ups.

What Is Clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is a movement-based exercise method designed and supervised by qualified physiotherapists.

Unlike general gym or mat classes, Clinical Pilates is individualised to your body and your condition.

It focuses on:

• Core strength and stability

• Spinal control and posture

• Breathing and movement awareness

• Muscle balance and coordination

Each program is built around your assessment results and tailored to help your back move and support itself the way it’s meant to.

How Clinical Pilates Helps with Back Pain

If you suffer from lower back pain, sciatica, disc problems or postural tightness, Clinical Pilates can:

• Activate deep core muscles that protect your spine

• Improve posture and reduce strain on painful joints

• Enhance flexibility and mobility through controlled, low-impact movement

• Re-train muscle control, preventing recurring flare-ups

• Reduce stiffness and tension, helping you move comfortably again

By restoring stability from the inside out, Clinical Pilates targets the root cause of pain — not just the symptoms.

What to Expect at Sport & Spine Physiotherapy Adamstown

Your first session includes a comprehensive physiotherapy assessment to identify the cause of your back pain and your movement patterns.

From there, your physiotherapist will design a custom Clinical Pilates program for you.

You’ll learn correct muscle activation and posture under close supervision, ensuring every exercise is performed safely and effectively.

As your strength improves, your program is adjusted to keep you progressing confidently.

Why Choose Clinical Pilates with a Physiotherapist

When Clinical Pilates is led by a physiotherapist, you benefit from:

• Expert guidance based on anatomy and spinal biomechanics

• A program that fits your medical history and fitness level

• Real-time feedback to correct form and avoid aggravating pain

• Integration with your overall physio treatment plan

Many of our clients find that Clinical Pilates becomes a long-term solution — not just for pain relief but for maintaining strong, healthy movement.
