Don’t Let Back Pain Hold You Back
Back pain is one of the most common health problems, and it can affect anyone — whether you spend long hours at a desk, lift heavy objects, or simply deal with the challenges of daily life. While occasional aches are normal, ongoing or severe back pain can interfere with work, exercise, and even simple activities like walking or sleeping.
Why Back Pain Happens
Some of the most common causes include:
- Muscle strain or tension
- Herniated discs

I can’t thank Active Health Clinic enough for the help I’ve received. I went in with severe sciatica and the improvement after treatment, especially the dry needling, has been amazing. The relief has made a real difference to my day to day life.
A special thank you to Andrea for making me feel comfortable and at ease when I was nervous about the treatment. She took the time to explain everything and her calm, professional approach made the whole experience far easier than I expected.
I’m extremely grateful to the team and would highly recommend Active Health Clinic Glasgow to anyone dealing with pain or mobility issues.

Limped in to the clinic in September to see if they could help me.
I had chronic back pain and would have been happy with any level of improvement.
After my assessment and a massage and acupuncture session Rebecca gave me a series of exercises to strengthen the core muscles supporting my lower back.
I decided to go for it and although it was difficult to start with, once I had gone through the initial pain barriers and a few more clinic visits I started to gradually feel the benefits.
December now and I’m almost pain free and signed up for the gym – not bad for a 74 year old!
Thank you Rebecca, gave me my freedom back.
