Back pain is very prevalent in Australia and 1 in 6 people suffer from it. That is approximately 3.7 million people within our population are suffering from symptoms such as numbness, tingling, weakness and pain in the legs. What’s more alarming is that many individuals who suffer from back pain, are often provided with incorrect treatment and advice or receive treatment that does not help to receive their symptoms or pain. Once complications and serious other pathologies such as cancer, fracture, infections and arthritis are ruled out, physical therapy and alternative therapies including Chiropractic Care, Remedial Massage and Myotherapy have proven to be the most beneficial and least invasive approach to treat non-specific lower back pain and related symptoms. *research by Dr. Buchbinder, a professor and researched of clinical epidemiology at Monash University.

What are the functional movement screen tests? The FMS helps identify muscle asymmetries, tightness, weakness and other risk factors for injury by examining the mobility and stability of the hips, core, shoulders, knees, spine and ankles. The FMS consists of 7 movements
