Personalised lower back pain physiotherapy in Kumbakonam, built around the things you want to do again.
From an uncomfortable workday to pain that keeps returning, we start by listening. Your care brings together assessment, guided exercise and practical advice for daily life.
Understanding your symptoms
The same diagnosis can affect people differently. We look at your symptoms, health history and movement before recommending a plan.
When bending, getting out of a chair or a day at work becomes uncomfortable, an assessment helps us understand your symptoms and the activities that matter to you.
Our focusBuild comfortable movement, strength and confidence at a manageable pace.
Pain travelling into a leg, sometimes with tingling, numbness or weakness, needs careful assessment. Symptoms alone cannot confirm which structure is involved.
Our focusAssess nerve function and movement, adapt activity and refer for medical care when needed.
A scan report can sound worrying. We consider it alongside your symptoms, examination and daily function to plan appropriate rehabilitation.
Our focusFind tolerable movements and progressively rebuild your capacity for everyday tasks.
If you have been diagnosed with age-related spinal changes, care can focus on how you move and what you find difficult, rather than the scan label alone.
Our focusWork on mobility, strength and walking or standing tolerance.
Pain around the back of the pelvis can have different causes. Suspected sacroiliitis may need medical assessment as well as rehabilitation.
Our focusExplore the activities that provoke symptoms and develop an appropriate exercise plan.
Tailbone pain can make sitting and moving between sitting and standing difficult. Tell us about any fall, injury or recent change in your symptoms.
Our focusDiscuss ways to reduce pressure while sitting and assess whether physiotherapy or further medical review is appropriate.
If long periods at a desk or difficulty standing upright are affecting you, we assess your movement and tolerance. A diagnosed spinal deformity may need specialist input.
Our focusImprove comfort at work and home through movement breaks, practical adjustments and progressive exercise.
Assessment to progress
Your goals guide the plan—whether that means sitting through work, walking farther or returning to household tasks.
We discuss your symptoms and medical history, then assess movement and function. Where relevant, we check strength and sensation and consider whether you need medical review.
We help you adapt difficult activities and choose movements you can manage. Hands-on treatment may be used alongside exercise when appropriate.
Your exercise plan develops with you. We choose and adjust exercises around your abilities, response and everyday goals, with guidance for practice between visits.
Review what is improving, discuss what remains difficult and work towards greater independence. Practical advice can cover work breaks, lifting and pacing activity.
Abdominal strength & back care
Diastasis recti is a widening of the connective tissue between the two sides of the rectus abdominis—the muscles at the front of your abdomen. Some people notice reduced core strength or control, but the separation alone does not explain every episode of back pain.
Spinal surgery treats a specific spinal problem; it does not repair abdominal separation or automatically restore core strength. If you have diastasis recti alongside back pain, abdominal function may need assessment and rehabilitation as part of your care, including after surgery.
This does not mean that back surgery will fail or that pain will inevitably return. Ongoing or recurrent pain can have several causes and should be reviewed by your treating team. After surgery, follow your surgeon’s advice on when and how to exercise.
Physiotherapy is often an initial treatment option. A tailored programme may include breathing, abdominal muscle control and progressive strengthening for everyday tasks such as lifting and getting up from a chair. The aim is to improve function; no single exercise programme is proven best for everyone, and complete closure of the gap is not guaranteed.
Surgical repair of diastasis recti is available for selected patients. Persistent functional difficulties or a suspected associated hernia may warrant specialist assessment. Your symptoms, examination and response to rehabilitation help guide the next step.

No. Leg pain can have several causes. Sciatica often involves pain into a leg with tingling or numbness, but an examination is needed to guide care. Tell your clinician about any weakness or changing sensation.
Many people improve with non-surgical care. Physiotherapy may support movement and function while symptoms settle. Persistent symptoms or worsening weakness may require specialist review; urgent warning signs need immediate medical attention.
Imaging is not routinely needed for every episode of back pain. Bring any reports you already have. Your clinician can advise whether further medical assessment or imaging is likely to change your care.
There is no fixed number that suits everyone. After assessment, we discuss your goals, agree an initial plan and review your response. The pace depends on your symptoms, function and progress between visits.
Bring relevant scan reports, referral or prescription notes, and a list of medicines if available. Comfortable clothing helps us assess movement. Think about the activities you would most like to get back to.
Long periods of bed rest are usually unhelpful. Keep moving within your tolerance and ask for advice if activity increases symptoms. Your physiotherapist can help you find a suitable starting point and adjust your activity gradually.
