What
we can help with
Muscle, joint, and nerve conditions we treat

Online physiotherapy is suitable for most muscle, joint, and nerve problems. We assess your symptoms through a clear conversation and simple guided movements, then explain what’s happening in plain English and build a plan that fits your day-to-day life.
Below is an overview of the conditions we commonly treat. For each problem, your physiotherapist will help you understand what your symptoms mean and what usually helps them improve.
Tendon pain
Irritation linked to overuse or increased activity.
We help identify the pattern and match the right exercise approach.
Muscle strains
Pain after overstretching or sudden effort.
We help clarify the severity and guide rest, movement, and return to activity.
Plantar fasciitis or heel pain
Morning pain or discomfort during long periods of standing.
We help identify contributing factors and guide exercises, footwear changes, and loading strategies.
Ankle or foot stiffness
Stiffness after injury, activity changes, or overload.
We guide movement and help rebuild confidence on the affected foot.
Tendon-related knee pain
Pain above or below the kneecap during loaded activity.
We guide progressive loading and clear recovery steps.

Mild sprains such as MCL or LCL irritation.
We guide early protection, movement, and the right time to begin strengthening.
Trochanteric pain or bursitis
Pain on the outer side of the hip, especially when lying on it, climbing stairs, or walking.
We guide strengthening and activity changes that reduce irritation.
Groin pain or strain
Pain often linked to sport or sudden movement.
We help assess severity and guide early management and return-to-activity steps.
Development-related hip symptoms
Hip tightness or reduced movement linked to developmental changes.
We guide safe movement and strength work.
Subacromial irritation or bursitis
Pain with overhead or sideways reaching.
We guide movement patterns that reduce compression and irritation.
Shoulder instability
A feeling of slipping, giving way, or repeated “partial” dislocations.
We guide strengthening and control work to support stability.
Frozen shoulder
Gradual stiffness and restricted movement that changes over time.
We explain the phase you are in, what to expect, and which exercises are appropriate.
Biceps-related pain
Pain at the front of the shoulder or upper arm, often worse with lifting or overhead tasks.
We help identify aggravating patterns and guide gradual loading.
Whiplash-related neck pain
Pain, stiffness, or headaches after sudden movement or impact.
We guide early management and help you regain comfortable movement.
Thoracic scoliosis or kyphosis
Curvature or rounding of the mid-back that may cause stiffness or discomfort.
We help you understand what is normal, what to expect, and how to stay active.
Neck-related nerve pain
Tingling, pain, or weakness travelling into the arm from an irritated nerve in the neck.
We help you understand which movements help, what to avoid short-term, and when imaging may be appropriate.
Headache linked to the neck
Pain around the skull, temples, or behind the eyes that comes from irritated joints or muscles in the neck.
We guide strategies that reduce pressure and sensitivity.
Whiplash-related lower back pain
Pain or stiffness after sudden acceleration or impact.
We guide early movement and help rebuild confidence.
Sciatica and leg pain
Pain, tingling, or numbness travelling from the back or buttock into the leg due to an irritated nerve.
We help you understand the pattern, what is aggravating it, and which movements or positions usually ease symptoms.
Lower back pain
One of the most common problems.
We help you work out whether symptoms are muscular, joint-related, linked to discs, or connected to posture, stiffness, or activity changes, and guide movements that usually help.
Disc irritation
Bulging or irritated discs, causing back or leg symptoms that vary from mild to more intense.
We explain whether imaging is appropriate and show you how to move in ways that reduce irritation as symptoms settle.
Age-related spinal changes
Normal wear in the joints of the spine can lead to stiffness, back or leg pain, or difficulty standing or walking for long periods.
We help you understand what’s changing and guide ways to stay active safely.
Post-operative concerns
Questions about symptoms after surgery once serious complications have been ruled out.
We help you understand what is normal and when review may be needed.
Joint stiffness
Common after injury, surgery, or time off activity.
We guide gradual movement to restore range safely.
Ankle sprains
A common injury causing swelling and difficulty walking after twisting the ankle.
We assess severity, guide early movement, and explain when a scan or boot may be needed.
Achilles-related pain
Pain or tightness at the back of the ankle.
We guide gradual loading and explain how to progress safely.
Prepatellar bursitis
Pain and swelling at the front of the knee.
We help you understand triggers and guide appropriate rest and gradual return to activity.
Meniscus-related irritation
Knee clicking, catching, or joint-line discomfort.
We guide safe progression and help you understand when imaging may be useful.
Knee pain
Stiffness, swelling, or irritation from the joint, tendons, or surrounding tissues.
We help identify the source and guide safe activity.
Hip pain
Pain at the side, front, or deep in the hip joint.
We help identify the pattern and guide safe loading.
Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI)
Pain with hip bending, twisting, or rotation.
We guide comfortable positioning and controlled movement.
Wrist and hand irritation
Pain from sprains, overuse, or stiffness after injury.
We help you understand safe movement and how to return to daily tasks without overloading the area.
Shoulder pain
Pain linked to rotator cuff irritation, impingement, early wear-and-tear, or movement sensitivity.
We guide strength work and movement adjustments that match your tolerance.
Rotator cuff strain or tendinopathy
Pain with lifting, reaching, or lying on the shoulder.
We guide gradual strength work matched to what your shoulder can tolerate.
Calcific irritation
Shoulder pain related to calcium build-up in the tendon.
We explain the stage you are in and guide symptom-based exercises.
AC joint sprain
Pain at the top of the shoulder after a fall or impact.
We guide early protection and gradual return to movement.
Thoracic spine pain
Mid-back stiffness or aching, often linked to posture, muscle strain, or repetitive activity.
We guide movement, breathing mechanics, and ways to reduce irritation.
Thoracic outlet–related symptoms
Neck, shoulder, or arm symptoms caused by pressure on nerves or blood vessels near the upper chest.
We guide posture, movement, and activity adjustments.
Neck pain
Pain linked to stiffness, muscle strain, posture, or age-related changes.
We help you understand the pattern and guide comfortable movement.
Costovertebral joint irritation
Pain in the upper or mid-back that may feel worse with deep breathing, coughing, or twisting.
We guide calm, controlled mobility and simple movement changes.
Spinal stenosis
Leg pain, cramping, or heaviness that improves with bending forward or sitting.
We guide position changes, pacing, and comfortable progressions in walking and activity.
Sacroiliac joint pain
Pain in the lower back or buttock that behaves similarly to general spinal pain.
We help identify contributing movements and guide simple, effective stability exercises.
Facet-related pain
Stiffness or pain around the small joints of the spine, often worse after rest or certain movements.

Compression-related pain
Pain following a vertebral compression injury, often linked to osteoporosis or trauma.
We help you understand when imaging is needed and guide safe, supported recovery.
