    1. Head & Neck

    Head & Neck pain is a common problem, with two-thirds of the population having neck pain at some point during their lives. The top three joints in the neck allow for most movement of the neck and head. The lower joints in the neck and those of the upper back create a supportive structure for the head to sit on. If this support system is adversely affected, then the muscles in the area will tighten, leading to neck pain. May also caused by numerous other spinal problems. Neck pain may arise due to muscular tightness in both the neck and upper back, and pinching of the nerves emanating from the cervical vertebrae. Joint disruption in the neck creates pain, as does joint disruption in the upper back.

Any interference in its mobility can affects an individual’s daily activities by increasing problems with instability, impeachment & injuries to surrounding soft tissue or bony structures that results in pain and impaired full range of motion.

    • Paediatrics Disorders

    Paediatric Physiotherapists treat many conditions similar to those in general physiotherapy practice. However, there are many pathologies which are related almost entirely to children. Some of these may be recognised at birth, while others may become apparent later in the child’s development.
