What we commonly treat for people from Burwood
Neck pain
Common triggers include screens, driving and sleep position. Depending on your findings, treatment may include gentle joint mobilisation or adjustment, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your neck. We also look at workstation set-up and sleep position.
Lower back pain
Common triggers include desk-bound days, lifting and heavy training weeks. Treatment is matched to your findings and may include spinal adjustment or mobilisation, soft tissue therapy, dry needling, and a graded exercise program. We give you clear guidance on what to keep doing, so you are not left resting and losing fitness.
Headaches
Common triggers include neck tension and long screen hours. Where the neck contributes, treatment may include gentle joint mobilisation or adjustment, soft tissue therapy, dry needling and posture and workstation advice. We work alongside your GP for migraine management, not instead of it.
We also treat shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow and headache problems, and sports injuries of all kinds.
