Back Pain Doesn’t Usually Fix Itself

Most people wait too long before getting treatment. What started as as stiffness or uncomfortable, slowly develops into:

  • Pain when sitting or sleeping

  • Reduced mobility

  • Gym or sports limitations

  • Nerve irritation or sciatica

  • Compensation injuries elsewhere in the body

The earlier the underlying issue is addressed, the easier the recovery usually becomes.

Testimonials

  • "I came to him with a lower back issue that three other physio’s had tried to help with. His combination of dry needling combined with sourcing the true cause of the pain, and appropriate rehab techniques, had incredible results. I had 3-4 sessions and 5 years later I still have no issues. I cannot recommend him highly enough."

    — Dan B

  • "I can’t recommend my physio highly enough. He’s incredibly easy to get along with, relaxed, kind, and genuinely cares about your progress, which makes every session comfortable and motivating... What really sets him apart is that he doesn’t just treat the symptoms, he takes the time to understand the root cause of each issue and puts practical measures in place to fix it long-term. Alongside easing pain, he provides clear guidance, tailored exercises, and ongoing support to help prevent problems from coming back.

    — Aaron H

  • "Leon helped me overcome a lower back / glute issue that I had been struggling with for over a year. By the end of our sessions I was able to run a half marathon with no pain at all. He is so knowledgeable and sets exercises and stretches that really target the right area. I would 100% recommend Leon and will go back to see him if any other issues arise."

    — Anna R

  • "Can't recommend Leon enough. He’s an incredibly knowledgeable Physio who’s helped me rehab a pretty stubborn back injury. He takes the time to properly assess what’s going on, explains things in a way that actually makes sense, and gives you a clear plan to get back on track."
