What is lower back pain?
Lower back pain refers to discomfort in the lower part of the back, where vertebrae, muscles and soft tissues work together to support the body. It often appears after repetitive movements, sustained postures or periods of inactivity, building up tension that does not always resolve on its own. It may be occasional or persistent, but in either case it deserves attention so that it does not interfere with everyday tasks.
Most common symptoms
A feeling of tightness or stiffness in the lower back; pain when standing up or after sitting for a long time; discomfort when bending over or lifting objects; episodes of pain that intensify with light effort; a feeling of muscle fatigue in the lower back.
When should you see a physiotherapist?
When lower back pain lasts beyond a few days or keeps coming back, it is a sign that your body needs specialist support. If you notice it limiting your mobility, your rest or your ability to work, it is time to seek professional help. A physiotherapist can assess how your postural and movement habits contribute and give you tailored guidance.

Frequently asked questions about lower back pain
Is it normal for lower back pain to appear after sitting for a long time?
Yes, sitting for too long tends to load the lower back muscles and alter your natural posture. A physiotherapist can show you simple changes and active-break exercises to relieve that build-up of tension.
What is the difference between occasional and persistent lower back pain?
Occasional pain is usually due to a specific effort and improves with a short period of rest, whereas persistent pain lasts several weeks or returns frequently. In both cases, seeing a physiotherapist helps identify the factors keeping it going and break that cycle of discomfort.
Do I need medical tests before speaking to a physiotherapist?
If there has been no serious injury or worrying signs, you can discuss your symptoms directly in a physiotherapy appointment. The professional will assess your situation and advise you on whether further tests or medical follow-up would be recommended.
