Specialist Spinal Assessment, Treatment & Rehabilitation
At The Back Lab, we believe that back pain is not something you have to live with. Whether your pain is recent or long-standing, we uncover the true cause, relieve discomfort fast, and rebuild the stability your spine needs for long-term health.
Led by Hazel Amper, Specialist Spinal Physiotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience, our approach is thorough, scientific, and bespoke — built around your unique movement patterns, weaknesses, and anatomy.
Why The Back Clinic Is Different
Most back pain care focuses only on the site of pain. We go to the symptom and beyond to find out why it started in the first place.
Our Dual-Diagnosis Approach
Every patient receives two diagnoses — because lasting recovery requires understanding:
1.What is wrong
Structural Diagnosis. What you might see on an MRI or X-ray — for example:
-
Bulging or herniated disc
-
Facet joint irritation
-
Spinal stenosis or degeneration
-
Nerve compression or inflammation
2.Why
Functional Diagnosis. The reason that structure became overloaded — e.g. weak stabilisers, poor movement control, tight or inhibited muscles, postural compensations, or inefficient load transfer through the kinetic chain.
By treating both, we address not just the pain, but the underlying dysfunction that caused it — changing the course of your spinal health for the long term.
How we apply this
Through a head-to-toe assessment, we: Identify the injured area, assess the stage of healing and apply the correct treatments and provide the best advice to efficiently progress you, through the recovery stages.
We test for mechanical imbalances, postural faults, and muscular weaknesses that cause your spine to overload.
Then, we build a personalised plan to correct them — so your back not only heals, but stays healthy.

Our specialist spinal programme is ideal for
✅ Those with chronic or recurring back pain with flare-ups
✅ Those with sudden, severe low back or leg pain (sciatica)
✅ People with disc injuries, sciatica, or spinal degeneration
The Back Clinic is designed for anyone experiencing back pain, spinal discomfort, or recurring flare-ups. If your body feels stuck, tight, or unstable (especially if you’ve tried other treatments without lasting relief) — and you’re ready to understand why — this is the place to start.
Conditions We Commonly Treat
We successfully treat all spinal and back-related conditions, including:
-
Disc injuries (bulging, herniated, compressed)
-
Sciatica and nerve entrapment
-
Spinal degeneration
-
Spinal stenosis
-
Hypermobility and instability
-
Postural and mechanical back pain
-
Scoliosis and kyphosis curvatures
-
Schuerman’s condition
-
Facet joint arthopathy
-
Spondylitis
-
Spondylolisthesis
-
Spinal conditions arising from infectious disease (Lymes disease, Long Covid)
-
Spinal injury as a result of trauma (falls, road traffic accident)
Those we regularly treat include:
✅ Desk-based workers with stiffness, poor posture, or tension
✅ Athletes and active individuals managing overload or imbalance
✅ Postnatal and menopausal clients, and rebuilding core strength and spinal support in the presence of physiological challenges driven by hormonal imbalances.
✅ Those living with hypermobility or structural conditions
✅ Those with long term posture issues
✅ Children and teenagers with early onset spinal pain and instability
-
Thorough Treatment Strategy
1. Relieve Pain & Calm the System
We start by easing pain, stiffness, and protective muscle spasm through targeted manual therapy, spinal release techniques, laser, and acupuncture. This allows the nervous system to settle and the body to accept corrective work.
2. Identify & Correct Weak Links
Next, we conduct a whole-body analysis — identifying muscular imbalances, joint restrictions, and postural deviations that overload your spine. We then introduce activation and alignment strategies to restore efficient movement.
3. Rebuild Strength & Support
Through 1:1 Reformer Rehab and functional strength training, we strengthen the key stabilisers that protect your spine — teaching your body how to move, lift, and live without pain. This can be carried out at home, in the studio or within our signature Back Boot Camp intensive course.
4. Rewire Movement & Maintain Health
Finally, we integrate everything into real-life function — posture, walking, bending, exercise, and sport — using movement re-education, functional exercise training and Posture Courses that give you control for life.
