Our aim at Peak Physio is to provide a state of the art back & neck rehabilitation service taking you from pain to performance, whether it is a new injury or you have been suffering with chronic back pain. Our specialist spinal physiotherapists can work with you to reach your goals.

The most common causes are a sedentary lifestyle, increased stress levels at home or at work, poor movement patterns, poor flexibility or simply due to the deconditioning of the core muscles.
