How Our Rehabilitation Pathway Works
Our mission:
"To help every patient find their weakest links and use our expertise of anatomy, dysfunction and exercise science to re-build their body to re-discover how strong and capable their body can be. And resiliently pain free for a healthy future”
It's hard to talk about Hazel & her team’s impact on my life without getting emotional.
I'd suffered from chronic pain and a number of conditions for over a decade, in and out of surgery for a number of issues. I saw two specialists who gave me steroid infiltrations with no effect, and said I'd need surgery.
I found Hazel on a desperate google search and honestly, she changed my life. Hazel created a plan for me which involved bootcamp to strengthen core and glutes, and release work.
After a couple of months of hard work, my pain disappeared. I was able to ski for hours and days thanks to the way my body has been strengthened.
I still struggle to believe how lucky I have been. So many doctors...
I cannot sing their praises enough, Hazel and her team are Healers and they are clearly passionate about the health and wellbeing of their clients.

Back pain that hasn’t resolved?
Many people who attend our clinic have already tried physiotherapy, exercises, medication, rest, or injections.
Yet their back pain keeps returning — or never fully settles.
Some people improve temporarily, only for symptoms to return again. Others feel they are constantly managing their back rather than recovering from it.
At The Back Lab we focus specifically on persistent and recurring back pain.
Our role is to understand why recovery has stalled and guide the next stage of rehabilitation in a structured and clinically appropriate way.
Specialist spinal rehabilitation
With over 30 years of clinical experience, The Back Lab focuses exclusively on complex and persistent back pain.
Many people who attend our clinic have already completed courses of physiotherapy or other treatments without lasting improvement.
Rather than providing isolated appointments, our clinic focuses on a Structured Spinal Rehabilitation Pathway, where rehabilitation is progressed in stages according to clinical principles.

Why back pain often doesn’t resolve
Back pain often persists not because people are doing the wrong exercises, but because rehabilitation has not progressed far enough.
Occasional treatment sessions or generic exercises may fail to address:
• spinal load tolerance
• movement patterns under fatigue
• reduced muscular support
• confidence and fear around movement
• the gap between pain relief and real function
Our rehabilitation pathway is designed to close this gap.
The Structured Spinal Rehabilitation Pathway
Step 1 - Back Pain Strategy Assessment
A detailed clinical assessment to understand your symptoms, what has already been tried, and whether a structured rehabilitation approach is appropriate.
Step 2 - Structured Spinal Rehabilitation Programme
If appropriate, you will progress through a structured programme designed to rebuild spinal support, movement confidence, and tolerance to activity.
Step 3 - Reassessment and progression
We review outcomes and guide the next stage of recovery, maintenance, or discharge.
