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.

All
Lower back and pelvis
Neck and upper back
Shoulder, elbow, and wrist

Pain often linked to sport or sudden movement.

We help assess severity and guide early management and return-to-activity steps.

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.
