Living with back pain can feel like it controls every part of your day. Simple things like bending, standing, or even walking can become difficult, let alone playing your favourite sport. At Gladesville Healthcare, our physiotherapist Michael Wontor specialises in physio for back pain, helping people recover so they can get back to doing the things they love.
Here’s one recent success story:
Michael works with people of all ages, from weekend joggers to retirees, helping them manage pain, restore movement, and rebuild strength. His approach combines hands-on physiotherapy techniques with personalised exercise programs, giving clients both short-term relief and long-term results. Read more about Michael.
One of Michael’s recent patients was a 65-year-old golfer living with constant lower back pain.
Session 1:
Michael began with hands-on therapy: soft tissue work and gentle joint mobilisation. This helped free up the back, ease pain, and restore mobility.
Session 2:
The patient returned already feeling a noticeable improvement. Daily activities were easier, and pain levels had dropped. But the goal wasn’t just less pain. It was getting back on the golf course.
The Turning Point:
Michael transitioned treatment into the clinic gym, designing a strengthening program tailored to golf movements. The focus was on building stability, hip mobility, and strength to support his back during swings.
The Result:
Within just a few weeks, the patient was back playing golf, confident, pain-free, and doing what he loved most.
