Rehabilitation
Truly fix your pain and injury
Dual Diganoses
Most people with persistent back, hip or knee pain are told what they have at the site of the pain — a disc issue, degeneration, sciatica, instability, tightness — but very few people are ever shown why their body reached that point in the first place. Finding the answer to this is key to recovering fast and long term. You can have a "disc problem" but the real problem could be widespread muscle imbalances causing pressure to be exerted onto the disc.
And that is exactly why this programme exists.
The spine, hip or knee is only one part of a connected mechanical system, and when other areas of the body stop functioning correctly, abnormal load is transferred into the affected area again and again until damage occurs.
The extended Physiotherapy assessment gives us a complete blueprint of how your body is functioning — and exactly what needs to change.
From there, we build your personalised Structured Rehabilitation Pathway: a start-to-finish recovery system delivered by our Lead Physiotherapist, Rehabilitation Specialist, and Clinical Massage team.
Your assessment includes a deep analysis of:
-
Spinal alignment and posture
-
Muscle weakness, tightness, control, and activation deficits
-
The way your body breathes, moves, walks, sits, and functions daily
-
How your nervous system is amplifying pain and tension
-
Genetic and physical predispositions contributing to chronic back pain
The best of all worlds
At The Back Lab, we represent a modern approach to rehabilitation: one that integrates advanced clinical physiotherapy assessment, structured rehabilitation, biomechanics, movement science, deep stabilization, progressive strength-based re-training and nervous system regulation into a single, carefully guided, progressive recovery system.
Fast track formula
Using modern concepts of exercise and pain science, our programmes only contain the best exercises for your condition. Our formula of 3 x a week, re-activates the system faster and creates neurological (brain to body) new habits that are frequently reinforced.
Phased rehabilitation
Every phase is strategically progressed to help you:
1.Reduce pain and regain control
2.Rebuild stability and movement quality
3.Correct dysfunctional movement patterns
4.Increase strength, resilience, and physical confidence
5.Prevent recurring flare-ups and long-term breakdown
Targeted
All patients attend for detailed pre-testing. This allows the entire programme to target your exact issues.
"This is not generic rehab.
This is precision-based rehabilitation designed around your body"
Exceptional monitoring
Using our knowledge of injury rehab we can identify at speed, how you body may compensate and incorrectly perform the exercise. This means that you don't waste any time and confidently not aggravate your system with faulty movements.
Daily integration
One of our priorities is passing you on knowledge so that you can incorporate all teachings into all aspects of your life. Without doubt, this speeds up the process of transforming how you exist.
Goal orientated
From the outset we are working towards achieving your goal, so every exercise and teaching has a direct effect on improving the quality of your life.
Long term approach
The results of the Boot Camp don't stop when the programme has ended. We want you to continue to improve and not suffer pain in your future. We build in continued strength through maintenance programmes and through knowledge, make you into your own physiotherapist when it comes to your body's movement, strength and long term resilience.
Your Programme Includes:
-
Comprehensive condition-specific
rehabilitation planning
-
Individually prescribed progressive
exercise therapy
-
Dedicated one-to-one rehabilitation
sessions over 3 weeks

Our mission
"To provide first class assessment and testing, 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”
At The Back Lab, we believe persistent pain and recurrent dysfunction rarely arise from one isolated structure alone. Lasting improvement requires a deeper understanding of how the body stabilises, compensates, loads, and adapts over time.
To us, rehabilitation is not simply the reduction of pain. It is the restoration of physical capability, movement freedom, confidence, and long-term spinal health.

Persistent Pain
Rehabilitation Clinic
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.

Suffering From Persistent Back Pain
You've had pain for months or years and nothing seems to keep it away.

Does your pain....
✓ Keep coming back or isn't resolving
✓ Sciatica or pain travelling into your leg
✓ Hurt when sitting, standing or walking
✓ Create morning stiffness

✓ lasts weeks, months or years
✓ Make you feel weak or maligned

Are you...
✓ worried your back is getting weaker
✓ frightened of making it worse and stopped exercising
✓ tired of constantly thinking about your back
If you're nodding whilst reading this, you're in the right place.
And
You are exactly the type of person we help.
At The Back Lab we specialise in persistent and complex back pain.
Many of our patients have already tried physiotherapy, chiropractic treatment, osteopathy, massage, injections, or simply rested and hoped things would improve.
The testing goal:
Find the trigger -
fix the problem
These weaknesses, causing spinal overload are ultimately caused by these examples; poor biomechanics and motor control (how the brain instructs the body to move) muscle imbalances, or structural weaknesses.
Whatever your issue is, we aim to uncover any triggers behind your condition and explain in detail what you can do to fix these, for good.
What's your problem
Your pain isn’t random and rarely the real problem. It is the warning sign of a body that has been overloaded and compensating for years.
Behind most persistent back pain, sciatica, disc injuries, spinal degeneration, hip and knee pain are hidden weaknesses that continually drive stress into the same vulnerable areas. This forces individual discs or nerves to bear excessive mechanical stress and eventually fail under the pressure.— until pain becomes impossible to ignore.
✓ Specialist spinal physiotherapy
✓Bespoke rehabilitation plans based on in-depth testing
✓ Hands-on treatment where appropriate
✓ Team colloboration: Massage and rehabilitation working together
✓ Clear long-term strategy—not just symptom relief
✓ Ongoing support to keep you moving
Intensive and fast track rehabilitation
For people who have tried everything - or want to recover properly the first time
Pain and injury can take over your life
Ongoing or unresolving pain, whether it is back pain, hip and knee injury can affect how you move, work, sleep - and over time, how much you trust your body. For many people, it becomes something to manage...rather than something that truly improves.
We provide specialist Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation for people who have tried everything - or want to recover properly the first time
It doesn't have to stay that way.

understand the real problem
Why back pain often persists
Targeting the real issues
2. Standard rehabilitation
Due to the absence of adequate testing, the rehabilitation plan may not incorporate all the required elements to fix you.
Rehabilitation also can be too fragmented. Too basic exercises may be provided, not followed through with your practitioner or exercises may be too high a level and aggravate symptoms. Posture may be discussed, stretches may be shown, breathing work practiced but not delivered to you in a fluid manner from start to finish.
Plus, occasional treatment sessions may relieve symptoms temporarily but often do not rebuild the strength and resilience required for lasting recovery.
Important areas are often left unaddressed:
-
Spinal load tolerance
-
Movement patterns under fatigue
-
Reduced muscular support
-
Confidence and fear around movement
-
The gap between pain relief and real function
The problem
with pain
Why you haven't been fixed
Why pain persists
Back pain can take over your life
Our role is to close that gap — safely and progressively.
Back pain can quietly take over
Back pain, hip and knee injury can affect how you move, work, sleep - and over time, how much you trust your body. For many people, it becomes something to manage...rather than something that truly improves.
The recovery problem
1. Standard assessment and testing
There may have been a lack of thorough assessment and testing. Issues may be presented on an x ray but not offer in-depth explanation. Your whole body may not be considered. Your genetics may not be highlighted. Your function - the way you move, breathe, exercise and work may not have been analyzed. The influence of how busy your nervous system is, may not have been discussed.
It's important to connect all of the dots to be then be able to give you answers and importantly, provide the information necessary to design an effective rehabilitation plan.
Our patients have tried:
Massage therapies
Past Physiotherapy
Osteopathy and Chiropractor work
Generic home exercises
Basic rehab exercises
Too advanced gym work
Pilates
Pain medications
Injections
Surgery
Many people with persistent back, hip and knee pain struggle to recover through standard treatment and exercise because of:
Ultimately, there is often a gap between what your body needs most and receiving an effective strategy.

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.

Why back pain often doesn’t resolve
Experts in all spinal conditions
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.
