Cervical Radiculopathy

Neck pain has many causes. Mechanical neck pain comes from injury or inflammation in the soft tissues of the neck. This is much different and less concerning than symptoms that come from pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column. People sometimes refer to this problem as a pinched nerve. Health care providers call it cervical radiculopathy.

Quietly Confident

Physiotherapist, PT, Physio...call us what you like (within reason), but we like to think of ourselves as muscle whisperers. 🤫🤫🤫

Not to shout too loud about it, but rumour has it that our cool, calm and collected approach to physiotherapy helps many keep calm and carry on when faced with an injury or condition.

You might mutter a few choice words under your breath sometimes when you're being put through your paces at Northern Hills Sport Physiotherapy, but you'll be singing our praises loud and clear soon enough!

A Balanced Approach: Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT)

Luckily, most of us go about our daily lives without needing to consider what keeps us upright and balanced; that is until something goes wrong. VRT are exercises prescribed by a physiotherapist that encourage the brain and spinal cord to make up for balance deficits.

I've always said, "If you want to avoid injury and needing Physio, listen to what your mama said and 'sit up straight!'"
