Low Back Pain | Myotherapy
Essbee Myotherapy | Cranbourne

Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions affecting everyday Australians.

Whether it’s caused by long hours sitting at a desk, physically demanding work, gym training, sport, or simply daily life stress, ongoing back pain can impact how you move, sleep, work, and feel.

At Essbee Myotherapy, we help clients across Cranbourne, Botanic Ridge, Langwarrin and surrounding areas manage lower back pain through hands-on treatment, movement-based rehabilitation, and practical recovery strategies.

Common symptoms of low back pain may include:

  • Stiffness through the lower back

  • Pain bending forward

  • Tightness after sitting

  • Difficulty lifting or twisting

  • Muscle spasms

  • Pain referring into the hips or glutes

  • Reduced movement and mobility

  • Morning tightness

Common Causes of Low Back Pain We See

 

Desk & Office Work

Long periods of sitting can contribute to stiffness, postural fatigue, and reduced movement through the hips and lower back.

 

Physical & Trade Work

Repeated lifting, bending, twisting, and manual labour can overload the lower back muscles and joints.

 

Gym & Sporting Injuries

Poor load management, restricted mobility, or muscular imbalance can increase stress through the lumbar spine.

 

Stress & Muscle Tension

High stress levels often contribute to increased muscular guarding and persistent tension through the back and shoulders.

Why Does Lower Back Pain Develop?

Lower back pain rarely comes from one single cause.

For many people, it gradually develops over time through:

  • prolonged sitting

  • poor movement habits

  • repetitive strain

  • heavy lifting

  • gym overload

  • sporting demands

  • muscular tightness

  • reduced mobility

  • stress and fatigue

Often, the body begins compensating for restricted movement or muscular imbalance, which can place additional stress on the lower back region.

The earlier these issues are addressed, the better the long-term outcome tends to be.
