Where does it hurt?
Tap a point on the body and we will tell you what people come in with, how it is assessed and what treatment usually looks like.
Tap a point on the body
Back
The most common reason people come to us. Pain sitting, driving or standing, a back that flares every few weeks, and having stopped bending, lifting or going to the gym in case it makes things worse.
A full history, then movement, strength and control, plus the areas above and below. Back pain is frequently driven by the hips, the thorax or simply how much load your week is asking of it.
Hands on treatment where it helps, plus the specific loading that rebuilds capacity. Josh works with the whole picture, including sleep, stress and activity, because those genuinely change how much your back tolerates.
Most straightforward episodes improve meaningfully within two to six weeks. Long standing pain takes longer, but you will understand it from the first session.
Not sure where to start?Most people begin with a free 10 minute call. No pressure, no obligation.

Why isn't my pain going away?
Pain that affects your sleep. Your work. Your family. Your mental wellbeing. You've tried rest, exercises, painkillers. But it keeps coming back. You're not imagining it. And you're not alone.
Most people are told pain is purely physical. But when it lingers, it's often more complex than that.
Your movement, stress, sleep, past injuries, and even fear of making it worse can all play a role. Over time, your body adapts and the pain sticks around.
That's why quick fixes don't last.
Real recovery comes from understanding the full picture not just treating one area.
