Shoulder and neck pain are some of the most common issues we see at Strength Clinic. Whether it comes from long hours at the desk, poor posture, sports injuries, or stress-related muscle tension, pain in these areas can quickly affect your work, sleep, and everyday life.

If you’re based on Sydney’s Lower North Shore in suburbs like Mosman, Cremorne, Neutral Bay, North Sydney, Cammeray, Crows Nest, Lane Cove, Chatswood, or Artarmon, you don’t have to put up with ongoing pain. At Strength Clinic, we offer both Dry Needling and exercise physiology to help you recover and stay strong.

What Causes Shoulder and Neck Pain?

• Posture-related strain: Prolonged computer use leads to tightness in the shoulders and neck.
• Sports injuries: Tennis, swimming, and climbing can overload the shoulder joints.
• Stress and tension: Stress often contributes to neck stiffness and headaches.
• Repetitive use: Everyday activities and work-related tasks can cause ongoing pain.

How Dry Needling Can Help

Dry needling targets tight trigger points in muscles using fine, sterile needles. This treatment helps release tension, improve circulation, and reduce pain. It is particularly effective for headaches linked to neck tightness and stubborn shoulder discomfort.

The Role of Exercise Physiology

While dry needling provides short-term relief, long-term recovery relies on strengthening and restoring movement. Our exercise physiology services focus on:

• Correcting posture and ergonomics
• Restoring shoulder and neck mobility
• Building strength to prevent re-injury
• Creating personalised rehabilitation programs for sport, work, and daily life

This combined approach ensures both immediate relief and lasting results.

Understanding Knee and Hip Injuries

The knee and hip joints are among the most complex and heavily used joints in the body. Injuries or chronic conditions affecting these areas can cause significant pain and dysfunction.

Common knee injuries include:

• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears
• Meniscus tears
• Patellar tendinitis
• Osteoarthritis
• Ligament sprains and strains
• Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g., after knee replacement)

Common hip injuries and conditions include:

• Hip osteoarthritis
• Labral tears
• Hip bursitis
• Tendinopathy
• Post-hip replacement rehabilitation
• Muscle strains

Without proper rehabilitation, these injuries may lead to chronic pain, instability, decreased function, and an increased risk of falls or further injury.

How Exercise Physiology Supports Knee and Hip Rehabilitation

Exercise physiology plays a crucial role in knee and hip rehab by designing individualized exercise programs that promote healing, improve strength and mobility, and restore function. At Strength Clinic Mosman, our accredited Exercise Physiologists work closely with you to:

• Assess your current mobility, strength, and pain levels
• Identify biomechanical issues and movement compensations
• Develop a personalized rehabilitation plan incorporating strength training, balance exercises, and functional movements
• Use evidence-based techniques such as progressive resistance training and low-impact cardio
• Provide ongoing monitoring and adjustment to ensure optimal recovery

The Role of Dry Needling in Rehabilitation

Dry needling is an advanced treatment used by our Exercise Physiologists to reduce muscle tightness, improve circulation, and alleviate pain around the knee and hip. By targeting trigger points and muscle knots, dry needling can:

• Decrease muscle spasms and tension
• Improve range of motion
• Reduce inflammation
• Accelerate healing
• Complement exercise therapy for better outcomes

Many patients experience faster recovery times and enhanced mobility when combining dry needling with their exercise rehab program.

Common Injuries Treated at Strength Clinic Mosman

At Strength Clinic Mosman, we specialize in managing a broad range of knee and hip issues, including but not limited to:

• ACL and meniscus injuries: Post-injury or post-surgery strengthening and mobility restoration

• Post-operative care: Comprehensive rehab following knee or hip replacements, arthroscopy, or ligament repair

Our holistic approach ensures you regain strength, confidence, and function as efficiently as possible.
