  1. Treat Symptoms

We understand how much pain can impact our lives. So our first goal is to always relieve your primary symptoms- usually pain relating to stiffness, tightness, inflammation etc.

Our therapists will use the latest and best assessment and treatment techniques to treat your symptoms quickly and effectively.

2. Identify underlying Causes

Often the underlying cause or causes are not adequately identified- and so can not be addressed. In this scenario it is not long before the symptoms return. This is arguably the hardest and most important step- one which Mend therapists specialise in.

The Neck Dilemma

Most people will have neck pain in their lifetime- and most recurrently. The main reason for these recurrent episodes is that even if treatment is successful, it is often stopped once symptoms subside- leaving the causes of the symptom untreated.

Breaking the cycle

To prevent another episode of neck pain or break the current cycle of pain, the first step is to identify all of the direct, indirect and lifestyle causes of your pain and dysfunction.

Once identified, these causes are treated accordingly preparing you for the third and final stage of your rehabilitation Journey.
