Is Back Pain Starting To Shape Your Day?

You wake up stiff and sore from your back and need time before you feel ready to get moving

Sitting through work, driving or standing for long periods has become increasingly uncomfortable

Bending, lifting or getting down to play with your kids now feels like something you need to plan around

You hesitate before exercising or doing the things you enjoy because you’re unsure how your back will respond

If this feels familiar, you're not alone. We hear these stories every day, and the first step is understanding what’s contributing to your pain and having a tailored plan.

Back Pain Can Present in Different Ways

It may appear suddenly, build gradually or keep returning - affecting your movement, sleep, work and everyday life

Pain extending into the buttock or leg

Back pain accompanied by aching, tingling or altered sensation beyond the neck

Back pain with bending or lifting

Back discomfort aggravated by everyday movements, lifting tasks or changing positions

Pain following injury or activity

FAQ’s

  • You might consider seeing an Osteopath if your back pain is new, keeps returning, isn’t settling as expected, or is starting to interfere with work, exercise, sleep or everyday activities. You don’t necessarily need to wait until the pain becomes severe before having it assessed.

  • Back pain can involve a number of different structures and contributing factors, including muscles, joints, discs and nerves. Changes in activity, lifting, prolonged positions, previous injuries and other lifestyle factors may also contribute. An assessment can help build a clearer picture of what may be relevant to your pain.

  • Osteopaths are trained to assess and manage a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain. Management may involve hands-on treatment, movement and exercise advice, education and strategies to help you return to your usual activities.

  • This is a really individual question. That main thing that drives this depends on what is contributing to your complaint. Each treatment plan is tailored to you. No cookie cutter approach signing you up to 20 sessions over 10 weeks etc.

  • All of our sessions involved tailored, hands-on treatment. We’re also trained in ergonomic advice and exercise prescription.

  • We sure do. Always best to check with your provider to make sure Osteo is covered but we’re registered with all funds and have onsite processing of rebates.

  • Just some comfy clothes, if you have any current scans and also an openness to learn all things about your body!

About Us

Hey, I’m Sarah

We founded Grounded Osteopathy because we believed healthcare could feel different.

Too often, healthcare feels rushed, clinical and impersonal. We wanted to create a space where people felt genuinely welcomed, listened to and understood from the moment they walk through the door.

That's why we've built a warm, friendly space where taking the time to understand your story is just as important as the treatment itself. We believe the best outcomes come from understanding the whole person, not just the painful areas.

Ever since patients have been choosing us to help them with their journey because:

  • Hands-on care and ongoing support

  • A warm, welcoming environment

  • A thorough history and examination
