Our comprehensive head and neck pain treatment

Comprehensive Assessment


Your path to relief begins with a comprehensive assessment. We start with an in-depth conversation about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle factors that may contribute to your head or neck pain. Our physiotherapists will then perform specific tests to gain a thorough understanding of your condition, allowing us to create a tailored treatment plan that suits your needs.


Treatment of Symptoms


To alleviate acute symptoms, we employ various techniques such as mobilisation and manipulation to reduce tension and improve movement, dry needling to target trigger points and relieve pain, and customised exercises to enhance posture and reduce headache or neck pain frequency.


You’ll also be guided through home exercises using PhysiApp, ensuring you can continue your recovery journey between sessions. As you progress, these exercises may be advanced to include more challenging physio exercises or clinical Pilates to further build strength.

Advanced Treatment Options


For long-term improvement and recovery, we offer advanced treatment options like traction for gentle neck stretching, continued mobilisation for maintaining movement, and Clinical Pilates to enhance overall strength and stability. Our goal is to help you regain mobility and reduce pain, ensuring you can return to your daily activities with confidence and ease.


Ongoing support for long-term results


We believe in continuous support throughout your treatment journey. Regular follow-ups ensure your progress is monitored, and any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan can be made. As you improve, your exercises may evolve into more advanced physio exercises or clinical Pilates to continue building strength.
