Targeted treatment for lumbar spine conditions, disc problems, and sciatic nerve irritation using manual therapy, postural correction, and core stability exercises. Our approach addresses both immediate pain relief and long-term structural improvements, incorporating ergonomic advice and movement pattern retraining. Patients benefit from specialist assessment techniques developed through treating professional athletes with similar conditions.
