We often treat muscle strains, joint sprains, tendinopathy (especially in the shoulder, elbow, and knee), lower back pain, and injuries from poor technique or overtraining. If you’re experiencing pain from lifting weights or after F45, Pilates, or outdoor training, we can help.
Absolutely. Elbow soreness from lifting weights often stems from tendinopathy or joint overload. Our physios assess your lifting technique, muscle imbalances, and training volume to provide treatment and prevent them from recurring.
No. while common, it’s not normal. Headaches during weightlifting can result from poor neck posture, improper bracing technique, or inadequate breathing patterns. A physio can help identify the cause and correct it through targeted exercises and manual therapy.
Not necessarily. Our approach focuses on modifying your training — not stopping it. We’ll guide you on how to adjust your exercises, load, and technique so you can stay active while you recover.
Yes! Physiotherapy isn’t just for injury rehab. We design personalised programs to improve mobility, strength, and movement patterns — especially useful if you’re lifting regularly, attending group training, or returning after a previous injury.
A rehab gym (like ours at BodyMotion) is designed specifically for guided, clinical exercise. We combine evidence-based rehabilitation techniques with gym-based movements to help you recover safely while building a solid performance foundation.
The earlier the better. Early assessment helps prevent minor issues from becoming chronic and speeds up your recovery. If you experience persistent soreness, sharp pain, or restricted movement, book a physio session.
A Relaxation Massage is a great way to pamper yourself, reduce stress and recharge your energy levels. Using a combination of relaxing massage strokes, usually with a lighter pressure, you can opt for a full body massage or choose the areas you would like to have massaged which can include the back, shoulders, legs, feet, arms, hands, neck, head and face.
This is a therapeutic remedial Maintenance Massage which may be recommended to you by your physiotherapist and aims to help you to maintain the results that you have achieved from your Physiotherapy treatments. This massage will be targeted to the area that you had treated by your physio, and will ensure that the muscles continue to work well together to keep you free of pain.
A remedial Therapeutic or Deep Tissue Massage is generally a deeper, firmer pressure and will target particular areas of tightness and restriction in your muscles. You will be asked to provide feedback throughout this massage to assess if the level of pressure is suitable for the area.
A remedial Sports Massage can help to ease any muscular pain post workout or after you have participated in a sporting activity. It can also be beneficial prior to a sporting event to ensure that your muscles are at their peak state, therefore assisting you to perform at your highest possible level.
