Back Pain Treatment

Physiotherapy for back pain in Bludenz

Back pain can make movement, work and daily life more difficult. At Theraist Physiotherapy Bludenz, we consider your symptoms, physical capabilities and personal goals together. This provides the basis for an individually adapted physiotherapy treatment plan.

Physiotherapy may be helpful, for example, for recurring lower back symptoms, reduced mobility or difficulties with everyday activities. Existing medical findings and medical instructions are taken into account when treating known conditions or following injuries or operations.

What is assessed at the first appointment?

At your first appointment, we discuss how long you have had symptoms, which movements bring them on and what you would like to manage more easily in daily life. Depending on your situation, the assessment may include mobility, muscle strength and functional movements.

Together, we identify suitable treatment goals. These may include walking for longer, getting up more easily, returning to sport or managing everyday physical demands. Signs of symptoms that require medical assessment are also considered.

How is treatment planned?

Depending on the assessment, your treatment plan may include:

• individually selected mobility and strengthening exercises;
• medical exercise therapy and a gradual increase in physical activity;
• manual therapy or mobilisation as complementary measures;
• an adapted exercise programme and advice for daily life.

For back pain, clinical guidelines describe manual treatment as a possible addition to a treatment plan that includes active exercise. The most suitable combination is assessed individually. NICE: management of low back pain and sciatica.

You can find further information about our services under fascia therapy and sports physiotherapy. The choice of a method depends on your individual assessment and treatment goals.

What should you bring to your first appointment?

Bring any existing medical reports and a medical referral, if available, and wear comfortable clothing. Detailed practical information is available on our first appointment page.

Current fees and information about possible reimbursement are available under costs and reimbursement. Please contact us if you have questions about your specific situation.

When is medical assessment needed?

New signs of paralysis, numbness around the buttocks or genital area, or new problems with bladder or bowel control require immediate medical assessment. Back pain following an accident or accompanied by fever should also be assessed by a doctor. IQWiG: when to seek medical help for back pain.
