Back and neck pain treatment
Most back and neck pain we see is not an injury. It is a posture and movement pattern held for years, and it responds to being retrained.
How we approach it
Assessment first. A physiotherapist examines how you move, where the restriction sits and what is compensating for it. Treatment then combines manual therapy for the immediate restriction with therapeutic yoga to change the pattern that produced it. Where stress is holding tension in the neck and shoulders, breathing and relaxation practice is part of the plan rather than an afterthought.
What we do not claim
We treat mechanical and posture-related pain. Pain with numbness, weakness, loss of bladder control or a history of trauma needs medical imaging first, and we will say so at the consultation rather than start treatment.
Programmes this draws on
Holistic Yoga Therapy
Guided yoga, breathing and relaxation practice, planned around your health condition rather than a class level.
Pain Relief and Physiotherapy
Manual therapy and targeted exercise for chronic pain, injury recovery and restricted movement, delivered by qualified physiotherapists.
Questions people ask
Is yoga safe if I already have a disc problem?
Only with supervision and only with the right practices. General yoga classes include movements that load a compromised disc. This is exactly why we assess before prescribing practice, and why our yoga therapists are also physiotherapists.
How long before I notice a difference?
That depends on how long the pattern has been held and how consistently you practise. We do not put a number on it at the first consultation, because doing so would be a guess.
Do I need a doctor referral?
No. You can book a consultation directly. If your presentation needs a medical opinion first, we will tell you at that consultation.
