When movement hurts, everyday tasks can become difficult—from turning your head while driving to bending down or reaching overhead.
Our physiotherapist uses hands-on techniques to help ease stiffness and make these movements more comfortable.
Our physiotherapist supports the affected area and gently moves the joint back and forth through a controlled range. The movement and pressure are gradually adjusted to help ease stiffness and pain, making everyday actions—such as turning your head, bending down or lifting your arm—more comfortable.
Our physiotherapist positions the joint and applies a quick, small, controlled movement where this technique is suitable. This can help ease pain and improve restricted movement. Some people feel a release of tension and find movement easier straight afterwards, while others improve more gradually with treatment and exercises.
Hands-on treatment is combined with exercises to help you maintain the movement you gain and strengthen the muscles supporting your joints.
Our physiotherapist will show you what to practise at home and how to adapt activities that aggravate your pain, helping you move more comfortably between appointments.
