Pain, tension and tightness can seem relentless. This leads to a question we hear a lot in the clinic! Is this just the way my body is? Do I just have to deal with this forever?
You’ve seen 2 Physio's, a Chiro, a Massage Therapist, and 2 Specialists, but you’re no closer to understanding what’s going on or what to do about it. No one knows your body like you do, especially when you’ve been in pain for so long, so the most important thing we can do as Physio's is listen!
We have so many people coming in to our clinic with a long history of seemingly never-ending niggles, often in their back or neck and shoulders – we all know those niggles, that general sense of tension and tightness that seems relentless. These patients tell me that they believe this is just the body they have, their niggles are their standard, and that any treatment they have will likely only achieve temporary relief.
So often we find that the painful area is the victim rather than the culprit. When we work out what’s causing the problem it can be relieving, validating, reassuring, or even amazing to understand why you’re getting pain. Creating a plan that gets you from where you are to where you want to be is so much easier with a clear understanding of what’s going on.
Our job as Physio's is to identify the unhelpful movement patterns you’re using that are making you feel those relentless back and neck niggles. Luckily, due to our ability to learn and the changeable nature of our nervous system a.k.a. Neuroplasiticity, if we help you learn and reinforce balanced movement patterns we can achieve way more than temporary relief.
Planning a treatment path usually involves some sessions of hands on Physio to help allow your body to move differently, whether this is by releasing tight things that are restricting your movement or teaching you a different way to move. We also usually will have to work on some strengthening; this takes time but can involve things you enjoy. People often ask if they can continue to be active and I aim to keep everyone I see as active as possible because it can help to speed up the strengthening process that needs to take place.
Finally, we want to integrate your movement practice and strengthening into the activities that you enjoy and want to commit to long term. Do you enjoy running, swimming, yoga, golf, or tennis? What if this became your rehab? (so much better than those boring Physio exercises right!) For example if running is your goal and we integrate your new movement patterns and newfound strength into your running technique, each time you run you are reinforcing your rehab so that your injury won’t return.
So in answer to the question “do I just have to deal with this forever?”… no one is doomed to live with ongoing pain, all you need is the right input! 💪😄

“makes you feel safe and taken care of”
“I couldn’t walk and now I can run, all after 2 months of physiotherapy sessions with Sam! Sam is the best and the most professional physiotherapist I ever met, he is having extreme intuition and ‘I-can-help-you’ attitude, that makes you feel safe and taken care of. I love the fact that even though I suffered an injury he didn’t forbid sports activities, but adjust them to my condition! Sam is amazing person and I can sincerely recommend sessions with him. Balance in Motion is lucky to have him! Also, many thanks to Zoe from the reception for her smile and cheerful attitude!”
“Lindel is an excellent physio.”
“Lindel is an excellent physio. I like the holistic approach taken to find the root and source of your problem and fix any issues permanently. Out of hours appointments are always available and the team are friendly and their experience of dealing with sports injuries while allowing you to continue training is awesome.”
“always greeted with a warm welcome”
“Hands down the best Physio in the east! The team always go above and beyond to make sure my experience is 110%. Always squeezing me in for an appointment when I am in serious need and relieving me of all my pain and niggles, I am extremely grateful. Added bonus that you are always greeted with a warm welcome and made to feel at ease. I would recommend this physio to anyone who feels the need to have something checked.”
“So intuitive and caring in their approach”
“Nick C and Gina are absolutely amazing. So intuitive and caring in their approach. I’ve seen a lot of physios for multiple sporting injuries over the years and there are a lot of people out there that should NOT be putting their hands on anyone. I would trust these guys with my life. Top class in personality and professionalism. These guys are a level above the rest. After years of sub-optimal treatments I finally found therapists who can actually fix dysfunction. Nick C is particularly good on ankles, knees and running injuries. Highly recommended”
“Gina's dry needling and massage is amazing”
“Gina is awesome. Having been suffering from suspected sciatica for about two years, I finally decided to see a physio and I’m so glad I did. Gina is hugely knowledgeable and over the course of three sessions I have felt such a big improvement, with significantly returned feeling where before I had numbness. Gina’s dry needling and massage is amazing, and he’s recommended exercises which seem to have really worked.”
“super professional and friendly”
“These guys are always super professional and friendly, but most importantly always get to the actual root and cause of your problem, rather than just look at the main resulting injury. Have sent loads of friends to them, would always recommend!”
“helped me achieve my biggest exercise and fitness goal without being hindered by pain.”
“Gina’s ability to immediately get to the root of a physical problem (no matter how complex) and provide effective and thorough treatment is unmatched.In years of playing sport and managing injuries, I have never met a therapist in this space who has sorted me out so quickly and helped me achieve my biggest exercise and fitness goals without being hindered by pain.”
