Your first appointment is booked for 60 minutes so nothing is rushed. We start by talking: where it hurts, when it started, what you've tried and what you need to get back to.

Then comes the examination. I check how you move, test the joints and muscles involved, and run nerve and orthopaedic tests to rule out anything that needs a different kind of care.

If treatment is appropriate, you'll get it that day. You leave knowing what's wrong, how many appointments it's likely to take, and what to do at home.

Wear comfortable clothes, and bring any scans, X-rays or reports you have, plus your medical aid card.

Most lower back pain settles within a few weeks. Keeping gently active helps it settle faster than bed rest does.

Book an assessment if:

• it hasn't improved after a week or two
• pain travels down your leg, or you have pins and needles
• it keeps coming back
• it stops you working, sleeping or training

Seek urgent medical care if you have numbness in the groin area, trouble controlling your bladder or bowel, or leg weakness that is getting worse.

• Raise your screen so the top edge sits at eye level.
• Bring the keyboard close enough that your elbows rest by your sides.
• Stand up or walk for a minute every 30 to 45 minutes.
• Use your phone at eye height instead of looking down at your lap.
• Do ten slow chin tucks a few times a day.

No single posture is perfect. Changing position often matters more than finding the right one.

An online appointment is a 30-minute video call. We go through your symptoms, history and daily habits, and I guide you through simple movement checks on camera.

You get a clear opinion and a personal plan: exercises, mobility work, desk and lifting advice, and guidance on getting back to sport.

It works well for rehab follow-ups, second opinions and people who live far away. There is no hands-on treatment, and if I think you need an in-person examination, I'll tell you.
