Physiotherapy for Back Pain Relief in Mandurah

Persistent or recurring headaches  may be neck related, and you may not even have pain! This cause of a headache has been commonly overlooked which has often resulted in patients suffering for many years. Physiotherapists assess and treat neck pain and neck-related headache. Headaches caused by the structures of the neck are often one-sided, with pain usually arising at the base of the skull and referring to the temple, forehead or eye region. However, pain can be present in the eye/head region alone. Pain may be aggravated by neck movement or sustained postures and is often eased by manual pressure to the base of the skull.

  Dislocation or subluxation of the shoulder is a result of shoulder instability.  Dislocation is when the joint pops out of joint and has to be assisted back into position, or slowly goes back into position with time.  Subluxation is when the shoulder joint pops out and then goes back into position immediately.  It can still cause a lot of pain and inflammation because tissues have been stretched beyond what they were designed to do.   Instability injuries are common around the shoulder.  Instability of the shoulder is commonly seen in association with other injuries.  Rotator cuff, labrum tears, fracture, axillary nerve involvement, are typical examples. Stretching of the shoulder capsule and the ligaments that are associated with it (anterior, medial and inferior), create most of the instability. There are 4 common forms of instability: 1. Anterior/front  (most commonly seen and often traumatic) 2. Posterior/back 3. Inferior  (...

  Hydrotherapy or exercise in a warm pool is ideal for gentle rehabilitation for all types of rehabilitation following illness, surgery and injury. Mandurah Physiotherapy has an on-site hydrotherapy SwimEx pool which is available to clients and operates at a comfortable 32-34 degrees.
