Treatments customised to your specific needs

Shaun Williams (our senior physiotherapist & Director) creates individualised treatment plans for each of his clients. Since no single treatment will fix everyone’s neck pain, your treatment will be based on a number of factors including the exact cause of your neck pain, your age and your lifestyle. Generally, Shaun uses a mix of manual therapies and manipulations to relieve your neck pain, along with exercises and lifestyle changes to provide long term relief.

As a specialist in neck pain, many of Shaun’s clients are sent via local GPs and other specialists who have tried multiple treatments, but none of them have worked. Shaun’s reputation for relieving neck pain is a result of his experience and customised treatment plans that focus on pain relief first, followed by prevention.

Fortunately, most neck pain is caused by issues with the neck joints and muscles and can be quickly relieved. Examples include poor posture when sitting, standing, walking, running or sleeping, and once the pain is eased and the cause eliminated, your neck pain shouldn’t return.
