Low back pain massage therapy TorontoLow Back Pain

These three are genuinely hard to tell apart without a clinical background, so they share one page — an acute “I threw out my back” strain, sciatica, a herniated disc, and SI joint pain. Low back pain is incredibly complicated and needs a conservative, holistic approach. Whether through a postural, muscular or nerve-compression lens, I use a wide range of orthopedic assessments to make sure treatment doesn't do more harm than good.

Not a diagnosis — for more information, contact me or another trusted healthcare provider.

I draw on postural techniques, strengthening, stretching, joint mobilizations, myofascial release, rehabilitative exercise, and the list goes on — plus, for chronic low back pain, techniques drawn from pain reprocessing therapy, including tools rooted in somatic experiencing. Beyond the table, that can mean adjustments to daily activities, recreational activity recommendations, stress management, self-care, personal-trainer recommendations, referrals, and encouraging follow-up with your family doctor, including asking for specialist referrals where useful.

I'll be honest — I struggle to give general recommendations or timelines for low back pain, because it's such a wide umbrella, and I don't want to tell you something that might hurt you. Chronic low back pain is not the end of your life. It touches every side of life, and I don't want to undermine that complexity, but health practitioners as a whole can help — talk to your GP, your family, your friends, your physios and chiropractors.
