Spinal pain can be life-limiting, affecting movement, sleep, work and confidence in everyday activities. Neck, mid-back and lower-back problems can present very differently, so specialist assessment is important in understanding the likely source of symptoms and deciding the most appropriate next step.
At Solent Specialist Physiotherapy, spinal care is delivered by experienced clinicians with advanced expertise in spinal assessment and rehabilitation. Our approach combines detailed clinical assessment, clear explanation and evidence-based rehabilitation, with imaging and onward referral considered where appropriate.
Specialist spinal physiotherapy is available with Kathryn Palmer at our Rowlands Castle clinic and Mike Saegert at our Emsworth clinic. Both are highly experienced spinal clinicians who assess and treat neck, thoracic spine and lower-back conditions.
More Than an Exercise Programme
Our spinal clinicians provide specialist assessment, diagnosis and rehabilitation, with access to imaging referral and interpretation and coordinated onward referral to pain-management, spinal injection or surgical services where clinically appropriate.
