What is Back Pain?
Back pain refers to discomfort, stiffness or tension affecting the spine or surrounding muscles. It can involve:
- The neck (cervical spine)
- Upper back (thoracic spine)
- Lower back (lumbar spine)
Pain may come on suddenly or build gradually. It can feel dull, sharp, tight or may travel into the hips, buttocks or legs.
Back pain affects people of all ages: office workers, busy professionals, athletes, parents and manual workers alike.
At our Oxford Circus and Covent Garden clinic, we assess the underlying cause of your back pain and work with you to reduce symptoms, improve spinal function and prevent your pain from returning.
Common Symptoms of Back Pain
Back pain symptoms vary depending on the cause and location of the issue.
Symptoms may include:
- Persistent aching or stiffness
- Sharp or catching pain with movement
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Pain worsened by sitting, standing, bending or lifting
- Pain radiating into the hips or legs (e.g. sciatica)
- Difficulty straightening or moving freely
Ongoing back pain can affect sleep, mood and confidence in movement. Our role is to help you feel safe moving again.
At Fit2Function Oxford Circus and Covent Garden, we identify the source of your symptoms and design an individualised treatment plan that targets both pain relief and long-term recovery.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain rarely has a single cause. It’s often a combination of factors such as:
- Muscle strains or ligament sprains
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Disc irritation or bulges
- Reduced core or hip strength
- Previous injuries
- Joint stiffness or degenerative changes
- Stress, fatigue or poor recovery
At Fit2Function in Oxford Circus and Covent Garden, we take a thorough approach to identify what’s causing your back pain, whether its postural, structural or lifestyle related and create a targeted plan to address it effectively.

Back Pain FAQs

No, when done correctly, exercise is one of the best ways to manage and prevent back pain. We’ll guide you through safe, effective movements that support your recovery.
How to sleep with back pain?
Try sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees, or on your back with a pillow under your knees. A supportive mattress can also help.

Movement, stretching, heat or cold therapy, manual treatment and targeted exercises can all help. Our team will tailor a plan that suits your specific symptoms and lifestyle.
How long to see an improvement for my back pain?
Many clients feel relief within 1-3 sessions, but lasting improvement often takes a few weeks. Recovery time depends on the cause of your back pain and how long you’ve had the pain.

Not always. While posture and injuries are common factors, stress, lack of activity and underlying medical conditions can also contribute. We’ll assess all possible causes on your first appointment at the clinic.
