Headaches can be debilitating and are often caused by tight muscles, poor posture, stress
and tension within the soft tissues/muscles, jaw tightness is also linked to headaches,
especially migraines.

Often caused by tension, injury, stress and anxiety, upper back pain can restrict movement,
cause headaches and even difficulty breathing. Usually, the smaller muscles are the culprit,
so a thorough approached is taken to make sure nothing is missed.

When the muscles and connective tissues around the shin bone restrict it causes tightness
and pain, shin splints can be treated in 1-3 sessions depending on the patient’s pain
threshold.

Lower back pain can occur from many things but is often caused be tight hamstrings, glutes
and hips/pelvis and can be related to injuries sustained from exercise.

The shoulder is a complex structure containing many muscles, ligaments and tendons, many
issues can arise, shoulder issues can occur from poor posture, rounding shoulders, tight
chest muscles and tightness in other surrounding muscles and connective tissues. Other muscle groups should be included as part of this treatment for effective long-term relief.

Caused by repetitive actions due to tight gripping related to sports, gaming, work-related
injuries, depending on the severity and duration of the issue, more than one treatment is generally required.

We treat these conditions together as they are closely linked and cause problems for each
other, the connective tissue, fascia in the bottom of the foot is strained due to overuse
which also affects the heel and achilles tendon and the muscles in the calves, other parts of
the body are also treated as those who suffer from these conditions often have issues
walking.

The ligaments and tendons are damaged when we roll/sprain our ankles, also the Anterior
tibialis muscle is compromised leading to hip, pelvis and lower back pain due to muscle
compensation.

Sciatic pain is more often caused by compression of the sciatic nerve, pain can occur in the lower back, glute muscles, and down the back of the leg. The sciatic nerve travels through the gluteal muscles and in particular the piriformis, when tight this can compress the sciatic nerve. This treatment is extremely thorough with a particular focus on the tendons. If left untreated the muscles will almost always tighten back up.

Often caused by overuse, tightness, lifting incorrectly and or heavy. The muscle fibres
become tight which can create partial or full tears within the muscle fibres, sometimes
these tears will often cause pain but can be overlooked and treated as just a sore muscle,
partial tears that are left untreated can cause several issues within the muscles and supporting muscles leading to compensation.

Jaw clenching can cause several problems if left untreated. Splints are usually prescribed by
a dentist to protect your teeth but doesn’t stop the clenching. Jaw clenching can be caused
by stress and anxiety with some not even realising that it is happening, common side effects of jaw clenching is, headaches/migraines, upper back and neck pain. It is important that this is not overlooked when presenting with neck and back pain.

In my opinion this is very overlooked by other allied health practitioners. It is more than
stretching, foam rolling or doing a warm-up before exercising. Injury prevention is making
sure your bodies systems are functioning at its peak by firing the muscles effectively, so
compensation doesn’t occur, thus reducing muscle, joint, ligament and tendon tightness
and pain which reduces your chances of injury. Spot treating one area of the body won’t
prevent injuries as compensation would have already taken place, a more thorough
approach and regular ongoing maintenance sessions are required to achieve optimal health.
