The back is made up of a series of small bones known as vertebrae which combine to form the spine. The spines role is to protect the spinal cord, to provide attachments for muscles and ligaments and provide support and structure to the body. The back is involved in every movement in the body and therefore injuries or conditions which need surgery can cause pain and restrict normal ranges of movement. Physiotherapy aims to help you overcome these problems and get you back to your best as quickly as possible.
