Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain is common with overhead movements such as surfing, swimming, baseball or weightlifting. There are many structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone) which can lead to pain in the shoulder.
Pain in Kids
Children and adolescents get aches and pains too. By the time they reach twenty years old, up to 75% of children will have had back or neck pain. For one in five, this back pain will become chronic. One in three teens deal with knee pain. The numbers are similar for other areas of musculoskeletal pain.
Osteoarthritis
Arthritis can affect anyone from children to older adults. In Australia 1 in 6 people have arthritis. Arthritis is a group of conditions which affect the joints. These conditions can present as pain, stiffness or reduced movement, swelling, redness or feeling unwell.
Muscle Strains & Ligament Sprains
Muscle strains and ligament sprains are commonplace and it is important to diagnose the grade and then improve flexibility and strength, enabling a proper return to activities to help reduce risk of re-injury.
Sports Injuries
We help with a range of sporting injuries from sports like running, rowing, baseball, martial arts, weightlifting, tennis and many more.
