One of the primary benefits of physiotherapy for neck and shoulder pain is the reduction of pain and inflammation.

If indicated, we can also help to improve posture, which can help to reduce tension and prevent future injury.
In addition to reducing pain and improving mobility, physiotherapy can help to improve strength and stability.

Our physiotherapists can help to identify and correct any underlying issues that may be contributing to pain and injury, such as poor posture, muscle imbalances, or improper movement patterns.
