Neck pain and Headache

Neck stiffness and pain can be improved with muscle and joint release, postural strategies and home exercises. Headache can arise from a number of causes. One common cause is muscular tension coming from neck muscles and/or spinal joint dysfunction in the upper neck. Muscle release and spinal joint mobilization assist you to achieve better spinal mechanics and reduce headache. Correct sitting and computer workstation set-up is also important when treating neck pain and headache.

Sports injuries

Sports injuries

Peter will identify the injured structure then use a combination of strapping, stretching and strengthening to protect the injured tissues, improve associated muscle strength and coordination and review movement patterns.

Spinal pain & stiffness

Spinal pain & stiffness

Neck, thoracic spine and ribs, lower back and pelvis. Pain can result from injuries to muscles, ligaments, tendons, discs and nerves. Pain can occur due to muscle imbalance or poor work/activity methods and postures. Treatment is based on release of tight muscles and joints, combined with exercises and movement education to improve body mechanics.
