Our Spine Physiotherapy Treatment Techniques
McKenzie Method for Spinal Rehabilitation
The McKenzie Method, also known as Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), is one of the most clinically validated approaches for treating disc-related back pain and neck pain. This method involves a systematic assessment of your spinal movement patterns to identify the specific movements that reduce your pain and centralise symptoms. At AthloRehab, our McKenzie-trained physiotherapists use this approach to achieve rapid, lasting pain relief for disc herniation, sciatica, and chronic lower back pain.
Maitland Spinal Mobilisation and Manipulation
Maitland spinal mobilisation involves graded joint mobilisation techniques applied to the facet joints of the spine to restore mobility, reduce stiffness, and relieve pain. This hands-on technique is particularly effective for cervical spondylosis, lumbar stiffness, and thoracic pain. Our physiotherapists are trained in both oscillatory mobilisation and high-velocity spinal manipulation, applying these techniques with precision and patient safety as the primary concern.
Core Stabilisation and Lumbar Strengthening
A weak core is one of the primary risk factors for chronic lower back pain and spinal instability. Our spine physiotherapy program includes a progressive core stabilisation and lumbar strengthening protocol that targets the deep abdominal muscles, multifidus, pelvic floor muscles, and thoracolumbar fascia. These exercises form the foundation of long-term spinal health and injury prevention.
Neural Mobilisation and Nerve Gliding Exercises
For patients suffering from sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, and peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes, our physiotherapists use neural mobilisation or neurodynamic techniques. These gentle nerve gliding exercises restore neural mobility, reduce nerve tension, and relieve burning, shooting, or radiating pain caused by nerve compression in the spine.
Postural Analysis and Ergonomic Rehabilitation
Poor posture is a leading cause of spinal conditions, especially in desk workers, IT professionals, and students who spend long hours at computers. AthloRehab provides a comprehensive postural analysis and ergonomic advice program that identifies harmful postural habits, recommends workstation adjustments, and prescribes corrective exercises to restore healthy spinal alignment.
Traction Therapy for Disc and Nerve Conditions
Cervical and lumbar traction therapy is used at AthloRehab to decompress the intervertebral discs, relieve nerve root pressure, and create space for disc healing. This non-invasive spine physiotherapy modality is particularly effective for disc herniation, foraminal stenosis, and nerve root compression syndromes.
Spine Physiotherapy vs. Surgery: What You Need to Know
Frequently Asked Questions: Spine Physiotherapy
Yes. In many cases, a herniated or slipped disc can be effectively managed with physiotherapy, and surgery can be avoided. Techniques such as the McKenzie Method, spinal mobilisation, traction therapy, and core strengthening have a strong evidence base for resolving disc-related pain without surgical intervention.
The recovery time for sciatica varies depending on the severity of nerve compression and how long you have had symptoms. Mild to moderate sciatica typically improves within 6 to 8 weeks of consistent physiotherapy. Severe or chronic cases may require 3 to 6 months of treatment.
Absolutely. Cervical spondylosis responds very well to spine physiotherapy. Manual therapy, cervical mobilisation, neck strengthening exercises, traction therapy, and postural correction are all highly effective in reducing neck pain, improving range of motion, and preventing deterioration of cervical disc health.
Yes. Pregnancy-related back pain and pelvic girdle pain are commonly treated with physiotherapy. Our physiotherapists use safe, gentle techniques specifically adapted for pregnant patients, including gentle mobilisation, core and pelvic floor strengthening, and posture correction advice.
