Using evidence-informed assessment, hands-on treatment, and personalized rehabilitation programs, our goal is to reduce pain and help you return to work, sport, and daily activity.

Whether your symptoms began suddenly or have developed gradually over time, early physiotherapy intervention can help prevent ongoing flare-ups and long-term limitation.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain can arise from multiple structures and movement patterns. At Aeris Physiotherapy Health and Wellness in Port Moody, every assessment is designed to determine what is contributing to your specific symptoms.

Common causes include:

  • Muscle strain or ligament irritation

  • Disc irritation or herniation

  • Prolonged sitting and postural stress

  • Repetitive lifting or workplace strain

  • Sports or gym-related injuries

  • Motor vehicle accidents

  • Degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis

In many cases, pain is influenced not only by tissue irritation but also by movement habits, strength imbalances, and reduced mobility.
