Low Back Pain Physiotherapy in Penrith
Low back pain is one of the most common issues we see — and one of the most misunderstood.
At Relieve Physiotherapy, we don’t just ask where it hurts. We dig deeper into your history, posture, movement habits, and daily life to uncover the why behind your pain.
We believe in long-term relief, not short-term fixes. Whether your back pain started recently or has been bothering you for years, we’re here to listen, assess properly, and build a plan that’s tailored to you.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a scan or MRI prior to coming to physiotherapy? Not necessarily — most back pain can be diagnosed and treated effectively without scans. We’ll let you know if further tests are needed after your assessment.
Q: How many sessions will I need? It depends on your specific condition. Some people respond quickly, others need more time. Pleasingly 60% of people with acute lower back pain have completed resolution within 6 weeks and 80% by 12 weeks. Our goal is always long-term results and reducing the likelihood of reinjury
