Online Physiotherapy for Back and Hip Pain
Video assessment and guided rehabilitation for back or hip discomfort affecting work, walking and everyday activity.
* No payment required for the first consultation.
Back and hip symptoms can make sitting, walking, bending or sleeping difficult. FitMe Physio offers online assessment and individualized rehabilitation guidance, with a focus on your daily activities. Your consultation helps discuss suitable exercises, follow-up needs and whether further medical or in-person assessment is appropriate.
How is back and hip pain assessed online?
Your video consultation explores where the pain occurs, how it affects your day and whether a physical examination is needed.
Describe the pain pattern
Discuss sitting, bending, walking, sleep and any pain travelling into a leg, alongside previous injuries or medical care.
Review comfortable movement
Your physiotherapist observes suitable movements on camera and asks about tasks you find difficult.
Choose your next step
Agree practical goals and discuss exercise guidance, follow-up or referral for an in-person assessment.
What can back rehabilitation involve?
Rehabilitation is adapted to your assessment and response to activity. Progress is reviewed through everyday tasks rather than a fixed recovery deadline.
- Movement and strengthening exercises chosen for your current abilities.
- Advice on pacing work, sitting and gradually rebuilding activity.
- Video feedback and adjustments when exercises or symptoms change.
When do back symptoms need medical care?
Online care may suit ongoing movement-related discomfort, but new or changing symptoms need assessment. Seek emergency help for back pain with new bladder or bowel changes, numbness around the genitals or anus, symptoms affecting both legs, chest pain or a serious accident. Sudden severe or rapidly worsening pain, or feeling feverish and unwell, needs urgent medical advice.
Prepare for your back pain consultation
Use a camera-enabled device and a well-lit space where you can move safely.
- Note which positions or activities change your symptoms.
- Keep existing scan reports and medical instructions available.
- Tell us which work, sleep or walking goals matter most to you.

Questions about online back pain physiotherapy
Can you help with sciatica symptoms online?
A consultation can explore your symptoms and suitability for guided rehabilitation. New weakness, bladder or bowel changes, or numbness around the genitals or anus require urgent medical care.
Must I get an MRI before booking?
You can discuss your symptoms without existing imaging. Share reports you already have; further investigations depend on clinical findings and medical advice.
Will the same exercises suit everyone?
No. Movement advice depends on your symptoms, current function and medical history. Your physiotherapist reviews your response before progressing the routine.
How will progress be measured?
Reviews can consider walking, sitting tolerance, sleep and your chosen activities, alongside symptoms. Your plan can change as these improve or remain difficult.
