Back pain can have many causes. Maintaining comfortable activity and discussing ongoing symptoms with a qualified clinician may help guide your next step.
Everyday movement
Frequent gentle movement and a gradual return to your usual activities can be useful for many people, depending on their condition. A personalised plan is preferable to a one-size-fits-all routine.
When to seek care
Arrange an assessment if pain persists, worsens, follows injury or interferes with daily life. Seek urgent medical attention for new bladder or bowel problems, significant new leg weakness or loss of sensation around the groin.
