Back Pain
About Back Pain
Above all, we are specialists for back pain treatments in Farnham, so there's no need to keep searching for "back pain treatments near me" or "back pain specialist near me" because you have found the right clinic!
Having back pain alone is challenging enough, especially if it is coupled with stiffness, back spasms, and difficulty moving or sleeping.
At least 80% of people will suffer from back pain and/or sciatica at some point in their lives, with many of those being recurrent or chronic (long-lasting) problems. In other words, you aren't the only person suffering from back pain in Farnham!
Often though, people also experience forms of sciatica alongside back pain. In addition, this can cause pain down one leg, areas of numbness or pins and needles, and loss of strength in the leg.
Several conditions can cause back pain and sciatica so getting to the root cause of yours is key.
Causes Of Back Pain
There are a number of problems that cause pain in the back which initiate from your neuro-musculoskeletal system.
- Stiffness in the small joints in your spine.
- Tension in the muscles in the back or bottom - usually from prolonged sitting and poor posture.
- Irritation of nerve pathways in the back which can cause pain in the buttock, leg or foot.
- Problems higher up your spine, e.g. in your neck or mid-back around the shoulder blades.
- Problems around your pelvis or hips.
- Problems with your digestive or reproductive system.
- Issues in your legs which cause a back problem.

This is first time I have had therapy and I recommend Lake Therapy .A welcoming , calm space . My therapist Muhammed was recommended to me and I thoroughly agree . He is kind , caring and his healing hands relieve my acute lower back pain though full healing will take time .Posted on Google
Bekah DuncalfeSeptember 24, 2026I could not recommend Muhammad more highly! I went to see him after a friend described Muhammad as a ‘miracle worker.’ So I had high hopes. I was not disappointed. I carry a lot of stress in my body and our weekly sessions enable me to look after myself. Not only is he a fantastic physiotherapist, Muhammad has a lovely, caring manner and although he might be inflicting pain on me (intentionally of course!) somehow I come away feeling relaxed and a bit more put together! Thank you!Posted on Google

neil cartwrightSeptember 23, 2026Fantastic treatment from lake therapy. 6 weeks ago I was discharged from hospital barely able to walk 10 paces with crutches and in a lot of pain. I'm now walking 3 miles a day and starting to drive again and am no longer on the opioid pain medication. Muhammad was very clear and accurate in his diagnosis and his ongoing advice has been spot on. Very friendly and professional people.
