How much does physiotherapy for back pain cost at R3BOOT?

A 45-minute one-to-one physiotherapy session at R3BOOT is ₹2,000. Your first session covers the full assessment and your first treatment. Call or WhatsApp +91 97023 68612 to book.

How many physiotherapy sessions will I need for back pain?

It depends on how long you have had the pain and what is driving it. Recent back pain (under 6 weeks) often settles in 4 to 8 sessions with a home exercise plan. Long-standing back pain usually needs 8 to 12 sessions with gradual loading. You get your own estimate after the first assessment, and we review it as you progress.

Do I need an MRI or a doctor referral before booking?

No referral is needed. Most back pain does not need a scan before physiotherapy starts. If you already have an MRI, X-ray or specialist report, bring it. If your assessment shows warning signs, or you are not improving as expected, we will tell you and refer you to the right specialist.

Can physiotherapy treat a disc bulge or slip disc without surgery?

In most cases, yes. Disc bulges are common on scans, including in people with no pain at all, and most disc-related back and leg pain improves with conservative care: guided movement, nerve mobilisation, manual therapy and progressive strength work. Surgery is usually considered when there is severe or worsening nerve weakness, or when pain does not improve with a proper course of treatment.

Is my leg pain sciatica or just a tight hamstring?

Both can feel like pain down the back of the thigh. Sciatica usually brings burning, tingling or numbness, can travel below the knee, and often changes with back or neck position. A tight or strained hamstring hurts mainly when you stretch or load the muscle. Nerve tension tests in your assessment tell the two apart, and the treatment is different for each.

Do you treat upper back pain and pain between the shoulder blades?

Yes. Upper back (thoracic) pain is common in people who work long hours at a screen or drive a lot. We assess the thoracic joints, ribs, neck and shoulder blade muscles together, because pain between the shoulder blades often comes from the neck or from stiffness in the mid back.

Should I rest or keep moving with back pain?

For most back pain, staying as active as pain allows recovers faster than bed rest. Short walks, changing position often and avoiding long stretches of sitting usually help. Your physiotherapist will tell you which movements to keep, which to change for now, and what to avoid until the next session.

Is it normal to feel sore after a physiotherapy session?

Mild soreness for 24 to 48 hours after hands-on work, dry needling or new exercises is normal and settles on its own. Pain that is sharply worse, spreads, or comes with new numbness is not expected. Message us on WhatsApp if that happens and your physiotherapist will adjust the plan.

WHAT IS DRIVING IT //

Can physiotherapy fix back pain?

For most people, yes, and most cases do not need surgery. But back pain is a symptom, not a diagnosis. A disc, a joint, a nerve and a strained muscle each need a different plan, so every first session starts with an assessment.

01/ 06

Mechanical and posture-related pain

The most common type. Long sitting and low activity overload the lower back muscles and joints. No structural damage, but very real pain that improves with load and habit changes.

Treatment starts with why it hurts.

Not just where it hurts.

YOUR FIRST VISIT //

What happens in your first session

You leave knowing what is causing your pain, what to do about it, and roughly how long it will take.

01History and goals

When it started, what makes it worse or better, how it affects work, sleep and training, and what you need to get back to. Bring any MRI or X-ray reports.

02Movement and nerve testing

Spine and hip movement, nerve tension tests, strength and reflexes. This is how we tell disc, joint, nerve and muscle pain apart, and screen for anything that needs a doctor.

03First treatment

Hands-on work and specific exercises chosen from what we found, in the same session. The aim is to leave moving easier than you came in.

04Plan and timeline

How many sessions to expect, what to do at home, what to change at your desk, and which movements to avoid for now. Explained in plain language.

How we treat back pain

Chosen from your assessment. Not every patient gets every method, and no one gets a default protocol.

Back pain physiotherapy treatment room at R3BOOT Dadar, Mumbai

Hands-on back pain care at R3BOOT

Team led by Dr. Hiral Parikh, 15+ years

Dry needling and aquatic rehab in-house

Manual therapy and joint mobilisation

Hands-on work on stiff joints and tight muscles.

Hands-on work on stiff spinal segments, ribs and the muscles around them to reduce pain and restore movement quickly.

Dry needling

Releases muscle-driven back and buttock pain.

Trigger-point needling for muscle-driven back and buttock pain, by a certified physiotherapist. Used as part of the plan, never on its own.

Nerve mobilisation for sciatica

Helps an irritated sciatic nerve move freely again.

Gentle movements that help an irritated nerve glide freely again, combined with positions that take pressure off it.

Progressive strength and loading

Core, hip and back strength, built step by step.

Core, hip and back strength built step by step, from pain-free basics to the lifting, running or sport you want to return to.

Aquatic rehabilitation

Lower-load walking when land exercise still hurts.

When land exercise is still too painful, the aqua treadmill lets you walk and load with less stress on the spine.

Desk, commute and sleep changes

Small fixes to how you sit, travel and sleep.

Small, specific changes to how you sit, travel and sleep, so the daily load stops undoing the work done in session.

RECOVERY //

How many sessions will I need?

Typical ranges, not a promise. Your own estimate comes after the first assessment, and we review it as you improve.

Under 6 weeks

Recent pain

Often 4 to 8 sessions

Spasm, a strain or a new flare. Focus on calming pain, restoring movement and getting you active again quickly.

3 months or more

Long-standing pain

Usually 8 to 12 sessions

Recurring or constant pain. More gradual loading, strength work and habit changes so it stops coming back.

Sciatica, disc bulge

Disc and nerve pain

Reviewed every session

Progress depends on how the nerve responds. We track your symptoms closely and refer you to a specialist if needed.
