    Our treatment approach for low back pain is a combination of manual therapy and exercise prescription. This approach is highly influenced by Phil’s time spent teaching the low back pain unit in the Master of Sports Physiotherapy programme. As most low back pain stems from a degenerative condition, it is important that the correct exercise program is prescribed so that the condition does not deteriorate.
