Understanding chronic pain. If you are experiencing pain that has lasted for more than a year, chances are your nervous system has been wired to become more sensitive to pain. Whilst our physiotherapists are able to help you with effective pain-relief, it is important for you to understand that sometimes the pain intensity does not equate to your injury severity. Understanding this helps giving you perspective, and will give you the much needed courage to continue improve.

Certain exercises can support knee meniscus health by strengthening surrounding muscles, improving joint stability, and enhancing mobility. Targeted movements for the quadriceps, hamstrings, and hip muscles reduce stress on the meniscus, promoting better knee alignment and resilience. These exercises aid in pain management, prevent further injury, and support long-term knee function.
A high percentage of lower back pain originates from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), a common but often overlooked source of discomfort. The good news? SIJ-related pain is highly treatable. With targeted assessment and therapy, our physios can help relieve your pain and restore comfortable movement.
Upper-crossed posture from long screen time leads to forward-rounded shoulders and a strained neck, common among those with long office hours.

Addressing this with targeted exercises can help realign posture and reduce neck strain.
Controlled, smooth movement is essential for preventing musculoskeletal (MSK) pain, as it minimizes strain on joints and muscles. When movement is well-coordinated, it reduces the risk of overloading specific areas, enhancing balance and stability. Developing movement control promotes joint alignment, prevents injury, and supports long-term physical health.
Acupuncture can effectively reduce musculoskeletal (MSK) pain by stimulating the body’s natural healing response. By targeting specific points, acupuncture releases endorphins, reduces inflammation, and improves blood flow to affected areas. This holistic approach not only alleviates pain but also supports muscle relaxation and improved mobility.
How core muscles are protectors of your spine, and how do you make sure that their natural muscle tone supports your posture. The key is not to consciously keep your core activated - that is a very outdated. The key is to have that core muscle tone so it supports you without thinking about.
