Our Comprehensive Approach to Chronic Lower Back Pain
Many chronic lower back pain cases are treated with a focus on short-term pain relief, often neglecting the underlying issues. At Achieve Health, we believe it is essential to perform a thorough and holistic assessment to identify the root causes of your pain. Common contributing factors we frequently address include:
- Biomechanical anomalies (these can be from the position of the feet through to postural anomalies that have not been previously addressed)
- Compensated movement patterns
- Pelvic-lumbar control dysfunction
- Degenerative conditions
- Soft tissue compensations due to trauma or inflammation
By identifying these factors early in the treatment process, we aim to develop a comprehensive and tailored treatment plan. Every incidence of aggravation can set off a new inflammatory cycle, creating compensatory movement patterns, which, if untreated, can perpetuate pain. Our goal is to address the primary cause while also working to resolve these secondary and tertiary issues.
Hands-On Treatment for Effective Symptom Relief
Our treatment methods are hands-on and highly individualised. Clients receive a dedicated physiotherapist for the duration of their care, ensuring continuity and rapport. We employ techniques such as:
- Soft tissue work to relieve tension and promote healing
- Joint mobilisation and articulation to restore normal joint movement
- Strength and conditioning programs designed specifically for your body’s needs
- Biomechanical and postural assessments to correct underlying movement issues
These treatments are tailored to your functional goals, whether that’s getting back to work, engaging in hobbies, or simply being able to walk without pain. For us, treating chronic lower back pain is about treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
Proven Symptom Improvement
While chronic lower back pain can be stubborn, our approach has yielded consistent results. The majority of our clients experience 40-50% improvement in their symptoms within the first three to four sessions of treatment. This improvement is often seen as a reduction in pain levels, improved mobility, and the ability to engage in daily activities with greater ease.
Our strategies are continually evolving, driven by clinical feedback, emerging research, and insights from complex cases. This ensures we are using the most up-to-date and effective methods to manage conditions like chronic lower back pain.
A Personalised Treatment Approach
We understand that no two clients are the same, which is why we take the time to learn about your lifestyle, stresses, and specific goals. Whether your aim is to return to the gym, or simply to walk your dog without pain, our treatment plans are designed to fit into your daily routine and help you achieve functional, meaningful progress.

Josh Walmsley2024-03-07 They have fixed me many times! Alex is a miracle worker naomi hadley2024-03-06 Had my 1st session with Rick yesterday after bodging my knee somehow. By the end of the session my pain was much lower and my rom was much improved. Very knowledgeable! Highly recommended by me! James Sprittles2024-03-06 I’ve had appointments with both Alex and Emily at Edgbaston/Moseley and have been amazed by the improvement since beginning with them. They have been able to both relieve muscle pain/tightness whilst giving me a bespoke training plan to improve my future health. I would certainly recommend them. Jagtar Marway2024-03-05 I have been having treatment from Jezzi for for a couple of years now for different issues. She is able to pinpoint the areas causing the issues and work on them with long term plans to prevent them from reappearing. I have seen different physios over many years but I have to say her treatment is the best for me. Rebecca Brennan2024-03-05 I have been going for physiotherapy at Achieve (Edgbaston) for over 4 years and continue to do so. I have seen Rickie, Jezzy and Mitzi. They are all great. Achieve was recommended to me and I have recommended them to others seeking out a physiotherapist. Definitely give them a try if you are looking for a physio. M Rai2024-03-05 I’ve been seeing Rick at Achieve Health over the past few months and he’s helped tremendously with my back pain. I highly recommend Achieve Health who provide a holistic assessment and a good mix of physical therapy with self-care advice to keep potential future issues at bay. Efe Okoro2024-03-05 ‘Highly recommending’ Achieve Health may be a massive understatement… I am currently seeing Rickie and Beth for Physiotherapy and deep tissue work and I am super impressed! Not only are they both immensely knowledge and professional, but the teamwork between them also means my sessions are specific, targeted and I am always aware of the steps needed in my rehabilitation, which I have not experienced at other physiotherapy establishments! Having a gym where they can show and watch my rehab exercises is also a massive plus for me! Thanks Achieve!!!! Manjinder Singh2024-03-04 Just over a year ago I decided to finally see a physio after 6months of back pain at 25! I couldn't stand up properly, sit down or lie down. I went to see Jezzie and she pretty quickly narrowed down the possibilities and got to work. Over the past year she's methodically brought me back to my best, something i've not felt for a few years, and offered plenty of exercises/workout plans to continue on my own. Now I go for maintenance appointments every quarter. Jezzie is conversational and knows her job and physiotherapy like the back of her hand, she has fountain of knowledge which puts me at ease as a client.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 239 reviews
