Neck Pain
Neck Pain Slowing You Down? Physio West Can Help
If turning your head while driving, working at a desk, or even scrolling on your phone causes neck discomfort, you're not alone. Neck pain is one of the most common issues we treat at Physio West, and our expert team is here to help you move more freely and live with less pain.
Whether you're dealing with a constant dull ache, stiffness, or sharp pain that radiates into your shoulders or arms, we understand how frustrating and limiting neck pain can be. It affects everything—from your concentration at work to your ability to sleep or enjoy time with loved ones.
At Physio West, our experienced physiotherapists carry out a comprehensive assessment to get to the root of your symptoms.

Frozen Shoulder
Is your shoulder feeling stiff, painful, or restricted with everyday movements like reaching overhead, getting dressed, or lifting objects? We specialise in treating frozen shoulder to help restore your mobility and ease your pain.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) often develops gradually, with symptoms such as a deep, aching pain in the shoulder, difficulty lying on the affected side, night pain that disrupts sleep, and severe restriction in shoulder movement — even with simple tasks like brushing your hair or reaching behind your back.
Our experienced physiotherapists will carry out a thorough assessment and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to your stage of recovery. Using targeted manual therapy, mobility exercises, and pain-relief techniques, we aim to restore movement, reduce discomfort, and help you return to daily activities as soon as possible.
Don’t let frozen shoulder freeze your lifestyle. Book your appointment with Physio West today and take the first step toward freedom of movement.
Sciatica
Are you experiencing pain that shoots down your leg, numbness, or tingling from your lower back to your foot? These could be signs of sciatica—a symptom of various conditions that can make even simple tasks feel overwhelming. At Physio West, we specialise in helping people just like you overcome sciatica and get back to living without pain.
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the body—becomes irritated or compressed. This is most commonly due to a disc bulge or herniation in the lower spine. The symptoms can vary, but often include sharp, burning pain, weakness, or pins and needles that radiate through the buttock, thigh, and leg.
We understand how much sciatica can impact your quality of life, from struggling to sit or stand comfortably, to missing out on the activities you enjoy. That’s why our experienced team takes a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treatment.
Personalised, Evidence-Based Treatment
At Physio West, we tailor each treatment plan to suit your individual needs. Depending on your symptoms and goals, your physiotherapist may use a combination of manual therapy, targeted exercises, nerve gliding techniques, and postural advice to reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
Hip Pain
Struggling with Hip Pain? We’re Here to Help.
Hip pain doesn’t always show up where you’d expect. It might feel like a deep ache in your groin, a sharp sting over the outer hip when climbing stairs, or discomfort when lying on your side at night. These symptoms can be signs of conditions like bursitis, tendon irritation, joint impingement, or arthritis.
At Physio West, we understand how much hip pain can limit your movement and quality of life. Whether it's due to overuse, injury, postural imbalances, or age-related changes, our expert physiotherapists are here to find the root cause and guide you through recovery.
We begin with a detailed assessment to understand your unique presentation. From there, we design a personalised treatment plan that may include hands-on therapy, joint mobilisation, targeted exercises, movement retraining, and lifestyle advice.
Our holistic, evidence-based approach focuses on reducing pain, improving strength and flexibility, and helping you move with ease again. We’re committed to supporting you every step of the way—so you can get back to doing what you love, pain-free.
Don’t let hip pain hold you back. Book your appointment at Physio West today and take the first step toward lasting relief and better movement.
Knee Pain

Whatever the source, our experienced physiotherapists are skilled at identifying the root cause and building a clear, personalised plan to get you moving pain-free.

Prevent future injury or flare-ups
