what is your problem?

Sciatica?

Sciatica is a common term used for the condition of referred pain in the leg. Often it is caused from dysfunction from your back leading to pressure on nerves causing pain in the leg. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that a detailed assessment will pinpoint the cause of your problem whether it is from a particular joint in your back or due to a pinched nerve in the muscles of your buttock or leg. Successful treatment depends on finding the cause of the pain and directing the appropriate techniques to fix the problem. If we feel your condition requires an XR or scan we will liaise with your Doctor so you will achieve the best outcome.

Back pain?

Back pain can result from stress, strain or injury to any of the joints, ligaments, discs, nerves or muscles of your spine. A detailed assessment will pinpoint what the problem is and what appropriate treatment is required. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that every person is different and often different treatment is needed for people who may present with the pain in the same area or the same XR diagnosis. After your pain is relieved we have our clinical Pilates programme to ensure your core stability is improved to maintain a pain free lifestyle.

Neck pain?

Neck pain is often debilitating. Irritated joints, nerves or tight muscles will cause pain in your neck shoulder, shoulder blade or arm or even headaches. A detailed assessment will locate the problem and what factors are causing it. Treatment can be directed on loosening up tight muscles and joints, releasing pressure on nerves and working on improving neck posture and strength.

Shoulder pain?

Rotator cuff tendinitis, impingement, shoulder subluxation, bursitis, muscle tears are all problems that can occur in the shoulder causing pain. The shoulder is a complex joint requiring a detailed assessment to detect what is causing the pain and more importantly what imbalances have probably caused it. Treatment is directed towards healing the problem area and then working on the muscle imbalances that have lead to the problem.

Headaches?

Headaches are common and have many potential causes. One of the common causes we treat at All Care Physiotherapy is headaches stemming from the top of your neck. We have a simple assessment procedure to detect if your headaches are from your neck and if so we can instigate treatment to help you get rid of your sore head forever.

Tennis elbow?

Tennis elbow is a common term to describe pain originating from the lateral part of the elbow. Often mistaken that it is only from playing tennis, it more often is as a result of overloading the muscle attachments from the back of the forearm onto the elbow. This can occur from hammering, gardening, painting etc or any activity that is repetitive or different from what the muscles are used to. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that a detailed assessment will pinpoint what muscle is involved and what treatment is appropriate. We also investigate your neck to see if this has referred pain to your elbow (which is very common even with local muscle pain). Our assessment will enable us to formulate the right treatment programme to help you get on with using your arm pain free again.

Shoulder blade pain?

Pain around the shoulder blade is very common particularly in the sedentary office workers. Maintaining the right static sitting posture for 8 or more hours per day is very difficult. Slouching postures cause strain on the joints, ligaments and muscles between or underneath the shoulder blades. Often the joints and muscles become stiff leading to irritation and pain. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that a detailed assessment of the area will pinpoint what joints, ligaments and muscles are involved in causing your pain. Often freeing up these tight joints and muscles will resolve the pain allowing us to work on the cause of the problem which is poor posture. Appropriate strengthening and flexibility exercises, combined with postural correction will help you remain pain free in the long term.

Hip/groin pain?

Hip or groin pain can have many causes. Pain in the groin can be from joint impingement or wear, muscle tendinitis or strain, bursitis or a ligament tear. Pain on the outside of the hip can be from a bursitis or tendinitis/tendonosis. A detailed assessment will locate the appropriate structure causing your pain and what is the best treatment to help you get better.

Anterior knee pain?

Pain around the front of the knee is common. Often people locate their pain by putting their hand over the front of their knee cap. The pain is often worse with sitting to standing, walking up or down stairs or slopes or squatting. The most common cause is mal-tracking of the kneecap or patella in its groove. This commonly results from tightness of the outside muscles and thick band structure called the ITB pulling the kneecap laterally. The inside muscle of the knee often is weak due to inhibition from pain. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that releasing the tight outside structures and strengthening the inside muscle often alleviates this problem. We use taping to realign the knee cap to allow it to track more efficiently in its groove while addressing the cause of the problem.

Tendinitis?

Muscles attach onto bones via tendons. These tendons can be easily stretched or overloaded leading to strain or even tears. Most chronic tendon problems relate to a condition called tendonosis where microscopically small parts of the inside of the tendon break down leading to pain. Successful treatment depends on the assessment of the tendon to diagnose what stage the injury is and then specific treatment can be implemented.

The All Care Physiotherapist will question about what recent change of activity you have been doing that may have predisposed you to injury. Factors that may need to be addressed are recent changes in sport training, changes in shoes, increased physical activity at home or increases work load at work.

Treatment will address all biomechanical factors, local tendon treatment as well as specific exercise that has been proven to help repair damaged tendons.

Post surgery?

All Care Physiotherapy is familiar with all types of orthopaedic surgery. We have had 15 plus years experience in rehabilitating patients with knee reconstructions, joint replacements, fractures and ligament and tendon repairs. We know and liaise with your surgeon to maximise your outcome post surgery.

Acute sports injuries?

Acute muscle, ligament or joint sprains are common when playing sport. All Care Physiotherapy can assess and diagnose the extent of your injury and then implement specific treatment to get you back onto the field again as quickly as possible.
