We can treat a range of injuries here at Hands On Physiotherapy, here are a few of the most common ones you might be experiencing.

Back + Neck Injuries

These may include problems associated with:

• lifting and bending
• whiplash
• disc problems
• postural problems especially if sitting at a desk for long periods of time
• recurrent headaches and stress

Postural back neck and back ache can lead to chronic pain and disc problems. A physiotherapist will give you advice to correct poor sittings posture at your computer or in your car.

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve:

• mobilisation and manipulation techniques
• deep tissue massage and release techniques
• exercise and core stability training
• electrotherapy

Muscle and joint injuries

Deep tissue mobilisation, passive joint range movements and electrotherapy are treatment modalities typically used for:

• sprained and strained muscle and joints
• sporting injuries
• occupation injuries
• post operative treatment and fractures

Re-education of muscle imbalance and proprioceptive training is often necessary to achieve full recovery and prevent further injuries.

Whatever the injury, a quicker and more thorough recovery will be made if treated early.
