Evidence-based treatment protocol for lower back pain

Our lower back pain protocol combines the six most evidence-supported interventions in the peer-reviewed physiotherapy literature. Each is progressed based on your objective outcome measures, not guesswork.

1
McKenzie directional-preference exercises
First-line evidence-based (BMJ 2022) — centralises pain within 3-5 sessions.
2
Multifidus + transverse-abdominis retraining
Chronic lower back pain patients consistently show multifidus atrophy — this reverses it.
3
Hip-hinge biomechanics (deadlift + squat pattern)
The #1 predictor of lower-back-pain recurrence is loss of hip-hinge mobility.
4
Dry-needling of quadratus lumborum + gluteus medius
Releases the exact trigger points that refer to the lumbar and SI-joint regions.
5
Postural + workstation ergonomic assessment
For Bengaluru desk-workers this alone drops recurrent-episode frequency by 60%.
6
Progressive resistance training (deadlift-carry)
Loading the spine safely is the strongest predictor of long-term freedom.

Objective outcome measures we track

Every fifth session we re-measure the following validated instruments and share the trajectory with you. This is what evidence-based physiotherapy looks like — not vibes.

  • Oswestry Disability Index (ODI)
  • Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire
  • Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
  • Fingertip-to-floor distance

Should I get an MRI before starting physiotherapy for lower back pain?
No — clinical guidelines (NICE 2020, NASS 2021) discourage MRI in the first 6 weeks unless red flags exist (bladder incontinence, saddle anaesthesia, foot drop, unrelenting night pain, cancer history). Physiotherapy first is standard-of-care.
