What we commonly treat for people from Ashfield
Shoulder pain
Common triggers include overhead sport, swimming and gym training. Treatment may include soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, dry needling and shockwave for tendon problems, plus progressive strengthening of the rotator cuff and shoulder blade muscles. Rest from the aggravating movement helps early, but we aim to restore load as quickly as is safe.

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.
