Patients receive education on pain management strategies and preventive measures to reduce recurrence risk.

Treatment combines strength training, joint mobilisation, and functional rehabilitation to restore mobility and stability. We develop customised exercise programmes to improve joint function while minimising discomfort during daily activities.

Our approach integrates soft tissue mobilisation, proprioceptive training, and sport-specific conditioning to ensure safe return to activity while preventing re-injury through biomechanical analysis and correction.

Treatment includes muscle re-education, ergonomic advice, and targeted strengthening exercises to improve spinal alignment. Patients learn self-management techniques to maintain optimal posture during work and recreational activities.
