What we commonly treat for people from Concord
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.
Ankle pain
Common triggers include rolled ankles and court and field sport. Treatment includes joint mobilisation, soft tissue therapy and, where suitable, IASTM or dry needling, but the main work is a staged strength, balance and landing program. We will tell you when you can run, jump and cut again.
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.
We also treat shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow and headache problems, and sports injuries of all kinds.
