Conditions
The most common problems treated with physiotherapy and the specializations that cover them.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek physiotherapy. Treatment usually combines manual therapy, controlled exercise and posture correction.
Neck pain is often linked to prolonged screen posture, muscular tension or cervical spine injuries. Physiotherapy targets mobility and strengthening of the supporting muscles.
Knee pain appears after sports injuries, overload or degenerative changes. Rehabilitation focuses on joint stability and quadriceps strength.
Shoulder pain includes rotator cuff problems, bursitis and frozen shoulder. Treatment combines manual therapy with progressive mobility exercise.
A herniated disc causes local pain and often pain radiating into the leg. Physiotherapy reduces load on the disc and strengthens the stabilising muscles.
Sciatic nerve irritation causes pain, numbness or weakness along the leg. Treatment aims to relieve pressure on the nerve and restore normal movement.
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, managed with corrective exercise and regular monitoring, especially during growth.
Sports injuries include muscle strains, ligament damage and overuse problems. Return to activity is planned in measured loading phases.
Tendinitis is inflammation or degeneration of a tendon from repeated overload. Treatment is based on progressive loading and activity modification.
Plantar fasciitis causes heel pain, usually worst during the first steps of the morning. Treatment includes stretching, manual therapy and foot strengthening.
Vestibular vertigo presents with dizziness and loss of balance. Vestibular rehabilitation uses specific manoeuvres and exercises to restore balance.
