The KRP Spinal Recovery Program

Breaking the Cycle of Back Pain

The cycle of deconditioning shows how pain leads to reduced activity, which causes muscle weakness, resulting in more pain and further reduced activity. The KRP Program is designed to break this harmful cycle.

Our structured Spinal Recovery Program is designed to address the root causes of lower back pain, not just mask symptoms. We focus on reconditioning the deep spinal stabilising muscles and restoring optimal spine function through a progressive, evidence-based approach tailored to your recovery timeline.

Our Point of Difference: Comprehensive Medical Network

Unlike general physiotherapy clinics, we maintain strong partnerships with a comprehensive medical network. While most back pain responds well to physiotherapy alone, we have established relationships with trusted medical professionals for cases requiring additional care or specialist consultation.

Medical Partnerships:

• Local GPs and sports physicians

• Imaging centers for diagnostic support

• Pain management specialists

• Specialist referral network (including neurosurgeons for complex cases when needed)

• Seamless coordination of care

This collaborative approach ensures you receive the right level of care at every stage, with expert referrals when necessary.
