Neck & shoulder problems need more than a temporary fix.

A common headache causing a dull, tight or pressing sensation around the head, often linked to stress, poor posture, prolonged screen time, or neck and shoulder tension. Physiotherapy can help identify contributing factors and reduce pain and recurrence.

Mechanical neck pain may be related to poor posture, prolonged screen time, repetitive movements, or stiffness in the neck and upper back. Tightness or weakness in muscles such as the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid and deep neck flexors can contribute to symptoms. Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain, restoring mobility and improving strength for long-term recovery.

Cervical radiculopathy occurs when a nerve in the neck is irritated or compressed, causing neck pain that may radiate into the shoulder, arm or hand, sometimes with tingling, numbness or weakness. Physiotherapy focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving neck and upper-limb movement, and restoring strength and function.

Rotator cuff injuries can cause shoulder pain, weakness and difficulty with overhead or daily activities. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring shoulder mobility, gradually strengthening the rotator cuff and surrounding muscles, and safely progressing back to normal function or sport after surgery.

Shoulder instability may occur after recurrent dislocations or ligament/labral injuries. Common surgical procedures include Bankart repair, Latarjet procedure and capsular shift. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility, strengthening the rotator cuff and shoulder stabilisers, and improving joint control for a safe return to daily activities and sport.

Labral injuries can cause shoulder pain, clicking, catching, instability or weakness, especially during overhead movements. Common procedures include Bankart repair, SLAP repair and posterior labral repair. Rehabilitation focuses on restoring mobility, strengthening the rotator cuff and scapular stabilisers, and gradually returning to daily activities and sport.

Shoulder impingement can cause pain during overhead movements, reaching behind the back or lifting, often with reduced shoulder strength and mobility. Physiotherapy focuses on improving shoulder movement, strengthening the rotator cuff and scapular muscles, and addressing contributing movement or load-related factors.

Frozen shoulder causes pain, stiffness and progressive loss of shoulder movement, often making daily activities difficult. Physiotherapy focuses on reducing pain, gradually restoring mobility and improving shoulder strength and function through each stage of recovery.
