Lower Back Pain Treatment in Nicosia
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit a physiotherapist. It can appear suddenly after lifting, bending or training, or it can build slowly from long hours sitting, poor movement habits, stress, weakness or previous injuries.
At Elinos Petrou Physio & Rehab Center, we focus on understanding the reason behind your symptoms and creating a practical treatment plan. The goal is not only short-term pain relief, but also better movement, improved strength, more confidence and reduced risk of recurrence.
Our clinic provides a wide range of Physiotherapy Services in Nicosia for pain management, injury recovery, rehabilitation and movement improvement.
