General pain

At our physiotherapy practice, we specialise in treating a wide range of pain conditions, including neck pain, lower back pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain.

Our experienced therapists create personalized treatment plans to help you reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or managing chronic discomfort, we’re here to guide you toward a pain-free, active lifestyle.

Neck pain

Neck pain and stiffness is a real pain in the neck for lots of people. Treating necks is what we do best. We have developed some unique assessment and treatment techniques for your neck. After assessing the cervical joints we mobilise the stiff segments to regain normal movement and teach you how to improve your posture and strengthen the correct muscles to protect your neck from further injury. If we think the problem is serious we can refer you on for further investigations or other treatment as necessary. We will not crack your neck but use gentler techniques to achieve great outcomes.

Shoulder pain

Shoulder pain is very common. It also often does not get better on its’ own. Of all people with new episodes of shoulder pain, about half will still have it one year later. Recent research is showing that the most common problem is to do with the tendons in the shoulder. Our approach is to work out exactly what is causing your pain, where the imbalance, tightness or weakness is in your shoulder muscles. We then work with you to
relieve the pain and to rehabilitate your shoulder for long term improvement.

Knee pain

Do your knees stop you from running? Is knee pain interfering with sport? Is knee pain stopping you walking and getting the exercise you need? Or do they just ache? Have you had a recent knee injury or surgery?

There are lots of things that can go wrong with knees. At Total Care Physiotherapy we work out what is causing your problem and then tailor a course of treatment and exercise to get your knees moving better with less pain. Often this will involve also strengthening the hip and addressing poor foot mechanics, along with balance issues on the leg.

Low back pain

Low back pain can be very debilitating. It can be serious and involve the nerves that go
down your legs. At other times it can just be constant and annoying. At Total Care
Physiotherapy we have successfully treated literally thousands of cases of low back pain.

The first thing we do is work out what kind of low back pain it is, whether it is affecting your nerves or if it is serious. We then develop the best plan to get you out of pain and back on track. This usually involves exercises tailored to your particular type of back pain, and mobilisation to stiff areas. It may also require assessment of other areas of your body that are impacting on your back.

If necessary we refer you on for further investigations or treatment.
