Struggling with back pain? You're not alone.
Let Our Trainers Help You Move Better, Feel Stronger, and Support Your Recovery.
Over 90% of adults will experience back pain at some stage in their life.
And for many, it becomes a recurring problem that affects everything — from how you sleep to how you move, work, and enjoy your life. But here’s the good news: most back pain can be improved or completely eliminated through the right kind of movement, guidance, and support.
At West Wood Club, we help people just like you find effective, lasting back pain relief every single day. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with long-term discomfort, or simply want to prevent future issues, our team is ready to guide you.
Important: Always check with your GP or physiotherapist before starting any new exercise programme, especially if you are currently experiencing back pain or are under treatment.
Get Lasting Relief with Back Care Exercises
Not all movement is good movement when you're dealing with pain. Our specialised back care exercises are designed by fitness experts and personal trainers who understand the spine, the supporting muscles, and how to help you move safely and confidently.
These exercises target the areas most associated with lower back pain: core muscles, postural alignment, flexibility, and strength. Whether it’s tight hamstrings, a weak core, or poor posture, our trainers identify the root issues and build a personalised plan to get you stronger and pain-free.
Exercise for Lower Back Pain – What Works Best?
Here are some of the most effective exercises recommended by leading global health organisations like Harvard Medical School and the World Health Organization (WHO):
Gentle Yoga
Pilates
Swimming
Walking
Elliptical training
Hamstring stretches
McKenzie extensions
Cat-Cow stretches
Tai Chi
Core strengthening exercises (e.g., modified planks)
These movements are low-impact but high-benefit. And at West Wood Club, you can do them all with expert supervision to make sure you’re doing them safely and effectively.
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, strength training plays a critical role in improving spinal stability and reducing the risk of recurring back pain. Similarly, the UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend strength-based exercises as a first-line intervention for managing and preventing non-specific lower back pain.

Physiotherapy for Back Pain
Some back pain needs specialist attention. If your back pain is more severe, or if you’ve been told by your GP that you need physiotherapy for back pain, we recommend speaking directly with a physiotherapist or injury specialist.
At West Wood Club, our personal trainers will work with the recommendations from your physiotherapy team to ensure that your exercise programme is safe, effective, and aligned with your recovery.
What Causes Back Pain?
Most people experience what the medical world calls non-specific lower back pain (NSLBP). That means there’s no single injury or disease. Instead, it’s often caused by a mix of factors such as:
Weak core and postural muscles
Poor posture from sitting too long
Tight hamstrings or hips
Lack of flexibility or mobility
Inactivity or sudden overuse
Stress and tension
The good news? All of these causes can be helped with the right back-care programme.
