BodyWorx Injury Clinic

🏓 Pain through the neck and shoulder can build up quickly in rotational sports like padel, especially when the body starts compensating through the upper traps, scapular stabilisers and rotator cuff.

💆🏻 Today’s session focused on reducing tension, improving movement quality and calming irritation through the cervical spine and shoulder complex using a combination of manual therapy, IR light therapy, cupping therapy and acupuncture.

🤩🙌🏽 One of the biggest wins from this session wasn’t just the reduction in pain and restriction, it was helping the client overcome a genuine fear of acupuncture needles. That only happens through trust, communication and making somebody feel safe and understood throughout the treatment process.

😁🏃🏽Within the session we saw immediate improvements in pain, movement and overall shoulder comfort. Thank you for trusting me and the process

❤️‍🩹 Rehabilitation isn’t just about treating tissue. It’s about understanding the person attached to it.

Amazing feedback from Lois 🥰 i genuinely appreciate any feedback and my entire client base is via recommendations, it’s grown completely organically and because of people like Lois and all my amazing clients. 😁🙏🏼 thank you so very much for choosing me

Sports rehabilitation is more than treating pain.
It’s restoring efficient movement, improving joint mechanics and rebuilding stability under load.

In these before vs after clips, you can already see improved scapular control, better overhead positioning and reduced compensatory elevation through the shoulder complex.

Restrictions through the scapular stabilisers, thoracic spine and surrounding soft tissue can massively affect pressing strength, overhead movement and long-term shoulder function, especially in lifters and athletes.

Treatment focused on manual therapy, soft tissue release, mobility restoration and corrective rehabilitation designed to improve movement quality and shoulder mechanics under load.

The goal isn’t just temporary relief.
The goal is to restore function, improve performance and reduce overload patterns before they become chronic injuries.”

This is a huge part of injury reduction, performance optimisation and long-term shoulder resilience in both athletes and general population clients.

Rehabilitation should never stop at pain relief.
It should improve how the body moves, stabilises and performs.

Posture correction isn’t just about “pulling the shoulders back.”

A lot of shoulder tension, upper back discomfort and restricted overhead movement actually comes from tight scapulars, thoracic restrictions, intercostals, lats and compensatory movement patterns that build up over time.

This video shows the progression from the initial assessment, immediately after the first session, and then after the second session.

Using a combination of:
Manual therapy, soft tissue release, cupping therapy, mobility work and corrective rehabilitation, we were able to improve overhead movement, reduce restrictions and improve scapular positioning.

Notice the difference in:
• Shoulder symmetry
• Arm position overhead
• Scapular movement
• Overall posture and mobility

This is why proper assessment matters.
The painful area is rarely the only area involved.

The aim is long-term movement improvement, not just short-term relief.

Scapula restriction is one of the most overlooked drivers of shoulder pain, tension and reduced performance.

In this session, I combined manual therapy, IR light therapy, and a targeted scapula release to improve movement through the shoulder complex.
During this technique, I’m applying a controlled pull and rotation through the scapula, helping to free up surrounding tissue, improve glide, and restore more natural movement patterns.

When the scapula isn’t moving well, everything above and below it has to compensate, often leading to tension through the traps, discomfort in the anterior shoulder, and reduced strength output.

By restoring scapular mobility, we’re not just chasing relief, we’re improving function, control, and long-term resilience.

This is where hands-on therapy meets clinical reasoning.

Busy doing what matters.

Sciatica isn’t just “back pain”… it’s a nervous system issue that needs the right approach.

This client presented with pain radiating through the hip and down the leg — a classic sciatic pattern.
Treatment focused on reducing tension through the posterior chain and improving tissue quality around the nerve pathway.

I used a combination of:
• Targeted manual therapy to release deep muscular restriction
• Cupping therapy to improve circulation and reduce localised tension
• Acupuncture to help modulate pain and calm the nervous system

This isn’t about quick fixes — it’s about restoring movement, reducing irritation, and getting the body working properly again.

Every session is tailored. Every step has a purpose.

If you’re dealing with sciatic pain, don’t just manage it — fix the cause.
