Post-surgical physiotherapy helps restore strength, movement, and confidence after an operation, so you can safely return to your daily life and activities.

After surgery, it’s common to experience:

Pain and stiffness
Muscle weakness or swelling
Reduced mobility
Scar tissue or poor posture from immobilisation

Physiotherapy helps by:

✅ Reducing pain and swelling
✅ Restoring normal movement and flexibility
✅ Rebuilding muscle strength
✅ Improving balance and coordination
✅ Preventing complications (like stiffness or blood clots)

Plan ahead. Think about your body and making it the most healthy vessel you can.

Headaches Caused by Neck Pain

Why It Happens

The upper neck joints and muscles are closely connected to the nerves that run into the head.

When these joints are stiff or the muscles are tight, they can irritate those nerves → resulting in a cervicogenic headache (a headache that starts in the neck).

Common triggers:
Poor posture (desk work, phones, driving)
Muscle tension or stress
Whiplash or neck injury
Stiffness from arthritis or wear-and-tear

Sometimes your headache is really a neck ache in disguise.
