Conditions we treat
Costochondritis
Inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the sternum, causing anterior chest pain and tenderness.
Rib Joint Dysfunction
Stiffness or irritation of the costo-vertebral or costo-transverse joints causing localised chest-wall pain.
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Compression of nerves or blood vessels between the collarbone and first rib causing arm pain and tingling.
Breathing Pattern Disorders
Dysfunctional breathing mechanics contributing to pain, anxiety, and reduced exercise tolerance.
Post-Cardiac Rehab Support
Physiotherapy support for mobility, breathing, and deconditioning following cardiac events or procedures.
Common symptoms
- Sharp or aching pain in the chest wall or ribs
- Pain that worsens with deep breathing or coughing
- Thoracic stiffness — difficulty rotating or extending
- Shortness of breath disproportionate to exertion
- Tingling or numbness into the arm from the chest region
- Upper back tightness closely associated with chest symptoms
You don't need a diagnosis to book. Just describe what you're feeling and we'll help identify the cause.
Our approach
How we treat
chest & thoracic conditions.
01
Rib & Thoracic Mobilizations
Manual techniques to restore rib joint and thoracic spine mobility and reduce pain.
02
Breath Retraining Exercises
Restoring efficient diaphragmatic breathing and reducing compensatory accessory muscle use.
03
Soft Tissue & Myofascial Release
Releasing intercostal and thoracic musculature to reduce chest-wall tension and tightness.
04
Postural Correction
Addressing thoracic kyphosis and shoulder rounding that compress the rib cage and restrict breathing.
05
Graded Cardiopulmonary Conditioning
Progressive exercise for post-cardiac patients to safely rebuild aerobic capacity and confidence.
