Lower Back Pain
ASSESSMENT AUCKLAND
Your Lower Back Pain Assessment
If you’re dealing with back pain – and you’re tired of guessing what might help – a proper assessment is the place to start. At Back Pain Auckland, we don’t do generic fixes. We take the time to understand what’s really going on, so we can help you move forward with confidence.
Because when it comes to pain, understanding why is everything.
What makes our back pain assessment different?
We don’t just look at your symptoms – we look at the whole picture. Using a comprehensive postural and spinal assessment, we’ll pinpoint imbalances in your muscles and movement that are often the real cause of your pain.
You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of:
- Which muscles are tight and overworking – and which are weak or underused
- How your core is performing (and how it links to your lower back pain)
- The shape of your spine and whether it’s contributing to discomfort
- How your posture compares to optimal alignment
- How things like forward head posture or hip position might be affecting you
I was impressed with the detailed comprehensive posture and lower back assessment I received from Back Pain Auckland.
It was only then that I could truly understand how my back pain was linked to my posture imbalance and core weakness.
Assessing Your Back Pain : The Big Picture
This isn’t a quick 15-minute once-over. It’s a comprehensive, evidence-based assessment designed to uncover the real drivers behind your back pain – not just the obvious symptoms. Allow for 60-90 minutes for your assessment.
Shane takes the time to ask the right questions and assess the entire chain of movement – not just your lower back, but also your hips, knees, feet, and core. These supporting structures are often overlooked, but they play a huge role in how your spine moves and how pain shows up.
Using proven, research-backed techniques, Shane will assess:
- Postural alignment and structural imbalances
- Muscle length, strength, and control
- Joint function and how well the body moves as a unit
- How your habits, work setup, injuries or training history may be contributing
You’ll leave the session with a clear, practical understanding of what’s really going on in your body – and why your back pain has stuck around. More importantly, you’ll walk away knowing what you can do about it.
For many clients, this is the first time someone has actually connected the dots – and that clarity is often the turning point.
How Do I Know If I Need a Posture Assessment
If you’re dealing with lower back pain, sciatica, neck or shoulder tension, or just feel like your body’s always stiff, tight or out of balance – there’s a good chance your posture and movement patterns are part of the problem.
Even things like headaches, muscle fatigue, or that constant sense of “niggles” that come and go can often be traced back to how your body is aligned and how it’s moving.
Postural dysfunction affects more than just your spine. It can impact your hips, knees, feet, and even how you breathe and hold tension. But the good news? It’s something we can assess, understand, and actually improve.
At Back Pain Auckland, we’ll take a detailed look at what’s going on – from the ground up – and give you a clear path forward that works with your body, not against it.

What to Expect on Your First Visit
At Back Pain Auckland, we take a holistic, whole-body approach to back pain. That means we look beyond just symptoms and focus on what’s really driving the discomfort – from posture and movement patterns to lifestyle and daily habits.
Your first visit starts with a conversation. We’ll talk about your pain, what’s worked (or hasn’t) in the past, and any contributing factors – like work, stress, previous injuries or day-to-day routines.
From there, we’ll complete a detailed postural and spinal assessment, looking at how your body moves, where imbalances may be showing up, and what that tells us about the cause of your pain. It’s the starting point for creating a plan that works with your body – not against it.
How Long is The Appointment?
Allow 60–90 minutes for your first visit. It’s thorough – and that’s exactly what it needs to be.
What should I Wear For The Assessment
Comfortable workout clothes are ideal. We’ll need to see key points on your body for an accurate assessment, so fitted activewear is best.
Is The Assessment Painful?
Not at all. There may be some light hands-on checks to identify key point on your body, but the process is completely non-invasive and should be pain-free.
“Take the first step with a thorough posture and spinal assessment – and walk away with answers, clarity, and a plan that works.”
