The Yoga Back Care Programme is a course offered by Physio Med that uses yoga based techniques to help sufferers of back pain, neck pain and sciatica to reduce their symptoms. By improving your movement, strength and stability, this will often lead to a reduction in pain and an improvement in overall flexibility.

The exercises that you will learn are highly recommended by Chartered Physiotherapists and are based on the recent NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) guidelines. Using yoga techniques for back care is recognised and recommended for the management of simple lower back pain.

For over 25 years our friendly team of highly experienced physios have helped 1000’s of patients.

Proven to Improve: Customer Feedback

Hasnt happened for 40 years!
"The classes have massively helped…I stood in a queue for Santa for over an hour on Saturday and not even a twinge from my back! That hasn’t happened for 40 years!"

My back hurts much less now
"I started practising Yoga for Back care with Claire….I enjoyed the classes so much. Claire is always well prepared, there is no waste of time-every minute is spent on improving posture and core muscles. I like the fact that the instructions are clear at the same time I know I will be corrected (with humour) if needed. My back hurts much less now, which motivates me to exercise at home."

Reduced my pain considerably
"I started with Claire about 6 months ago, I have really struggled with low back pain-the Yoga has really helped to improve my posture which as reduced my pain considerably."

The stresses of the day disappear

Very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease
"Fantastic Yoga for Back Care with Claire-she is very knowledgeable and makes you feel at ease. The classes finish with a lovely relaxation, great to take time out for yourself."
