Back and neck pain in Perth

There are many reasons why people in Perth suffer from back and neck pain. While some can be attributed to accidents or genetics, the majority of back and neck pain occurs as a result of our choice of work and lifestyles:

  • Poor posture,
  • sitting too long at the computer,
  • incorrect use of technology (holding the telephone between the ear and the shoulder while trying to do something else),
  • incorrect lifting or carrying

....can all contribute to back and neck pain.  

Traditional Chinese Massage (Tui Na) can help ease the area where back and neck pain occurs, while acupuncture can target the meridian points allowing the blockages of energy to be released.
