Georgia at Flexifit Physio has been fantastic in managing my acute shoulder and neck issue. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and her treatment approach is both effective and genuinely supportive.

Physio Review I can’t recommend these two sisters highly enough! They are incredibly hands-on and skilled, and after each session, I can genuinely feel the blood flow improving. I always leave feeling so much better. I thoroughly enjoy my physio sessions and make sure not to be late because I know how beneficial they are. Beyond their expertise, they’re also super friendly, making every visit a great experience. Their boutique clinic in Collaroy has such a welcoming atmosphere. If you’re looking for top-notch physios who truly care, this is the place to go!

Georgia has been able to massively reduce the neck and back pain that had developed due to long hours I spent sitting at a desk and hunched over one screen or another. I had also developed a reduced range of motion and stiffness and tightness in my neck. Georgia has significantly improved that as well. I highly recommend Georgia! She also happens to be smart, funny, open-minded, and very warm and welcoming.

The girls at FlexiFit have literally put me back together. Whilst still a work in progress; the difference from when I started going to them, to now, is chalk & cheese. Not to mention the incredible customer service & the genuinely kind people Tess & Georgia are. I highly HIGHLY recommend them for all your needs !!

Hands down the best physio experience I’ve ever had! Georgia and Tessa are absolute incredible —super kind and just really great people to be around. I came in feeling pretty rough, and the difference after my sessions has been amazing. I’m moving so much better and feeling stronger already. They really take the time to understand what you need and make the whole process easy and enjoyable.

Georgia and Flexifit physio are the absolute bomb. I had a bunged AC joint in my shoulder and bursitis. I had immense sharp pain and could not do anything that I usually did. After a few sessions from Georgia and doing (only half) the rehab myself that she suggested,😝 my shoulder is back to 100%. And I am back surfing every day and able to play the drums again. I could not have done it without her physical manipulation skills and Motivational advice. Thank you so much For helping me avoid surgery.

Fantastic service from both Georgia and Tessa. Always very accommodating of last minute changes. Always have a smile on their faces and a friendly and professional demeanor. Top notch service, highly recommended.

I’ve seen both Tessa and Georgia on and off for years; they’re the BEST. Both of them are so knowledgeable when it comes to finding the right spots to release tension. You also get a great chat, they are genuinely interested in their clients. You’ll need to take a deep breath when they hit those tricky spots but it’s worth it, I’m addicted!!

I highly recommend Georgia and Tessa for anyone seeking professional and effective physiotherapy care. I’ve been a patient of both for many years and they have helped me (and my kids) through some pretty gruelling pain and injuries. They take the time to thoroughly assess my condition and explain the treatment plan in a way that is easy to understand. The exercises and treatments provided are tailored specifically to my needs, and I notice significant improvement in my pain and mobility after just a few visits. Both Georgia and Tessa are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly caring making each session a positive experience.Thank you to both for your excellent care.

Georgia has been amazing! Always friendly and up for a chat. But most importantly she certainly knows her stuff not only fixing issues but helping prevent them as well. Highly recommend.

To put it simply, FlexiFit is the best physiotherapy I've been to. I would highly recommend to any family or friends. Tessa and Georgia are amazing; always getting me back into shape for my next soccer game after an injury. Throughout my numerous injuries, they know exactly what my body needs, and they are super accommodating as when my schedule changes they fit me in when an appointment opens up. They are genuinely lovely people, they always make me feel safe and comfortable in appointments.

I was referred to Georgia by an Orthopaedic Surgeon following an elbow fracture. I couldn’t be more happy with Flexifit - my elbow is improving each week and the practice is a pleasure to visit.

Georgia could not have been more caring and wonderful with our 13 year old daughter. Her treatments were not only effective but she also offered lots of great advice and a plan for going forward. Georgia also treated me and it was so good I only needed one session. Can’t recommend FlexiFit highly enough. Thanks Georgia! 🙏🏻💙

I had the slipped disc for couple of days and I wasn’t able to move around at all, the pain was unbearable. I came to George and fix me up in no time! I had a couple of sessions with her to make sure I’m fully fixed. I couldn’t be more grateful enough for Georgia. I’m really glad I came to this place ❤️ Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable and cost effective treatment

Georgia is a brilliant physio. She quickly diagnosed my problem and worked on a plan with me to get me moving again.

Georgia was awesome treating me when I was experiencing quite severe knee pain - she gave me a series of exercises as well as her treatment strategies with a very successful result. Thank-you so much Flexifit

Georgia provides exceptional service and has helped me immensely with my chronic lower back issues and degenerative arthritis. She works hard to keep my pain managed and provides me with knowledgeable advice specific to my injuries. If you are seeking a physio who truly cares and works hard to target specific issues, then look no further; it's so great to walk out of her clinic with complete relief.

I have been attending this practice since they opened and have had no hesitation in recommending Flexifit to my friends. Georgia and Tess are both professional women and the studio is so calming, beautifully spotlessly clean. It’s a treat to attend their business. The work they both do is amazing.

Flexifit is absolutely brilliant! Georgia has been my Physio for the past couple of months and she has been helping me with neck pain/migraines and knee pain. She has provided me with incredible hands-on physical support, as well as a specific and structured at-home exercise plan, that she created and adjusted based on my circumstances. Alongside the actual Physiotherapy aspect, the team at Flexifit have always been super accommodating towards my work schedule and have been happy to shuffle around appointments at the last minute. They are amazing and I can’t thank Georgia enough!

Georgia has treated me for three separate issues over the last four years - both in Gordon and now Collaroy I have been impressed with her competency and professionalism on each occasion. My local GP in the upper North Shore was so impressed with how well Georgia has treated my latest issue, he took all her details and said he was thinking of referring his patients that were prepared to travel from the upper North Shore to Collayoy.

Thank god I found this place. I have been suffering for years with neck and back pain, after playing baseball for years, and being a brow and lash artist for the last 5 years, I was constantly in pain and my posture was terrible. Georgia has been working her magic on me for a few months now and I have never felt so good. I can actually move my neck freely now without pain, and Georgia has given me some fantastic advise on how to best manage my training sessions with my personal trainer and the way in which I sit during work. The studio is so clean and provides a relaxing environment, and Georgia and her sister are so lovely and knowledgeable.

I have seen Georgia for a very troublesome shoulder issue I had for years. I am not able to explain adequately how impressed I am with the final result. I still cannot believe I have a pain free shoulder. Thank you Flexifit 🙏.

For the past few months I have had the pleasure of receiving physiotherapy treatment from Tessa at FlexiFit Physiotherapy in Collaroy for an ongoing neck & back issue, and I must say it has been an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere, which immediately put me at ease. Tessa demonstrated a high level of professionalism and expertise throughout my sessions. She took the time to thoroughly assess my condition, listening attentively to my concerns and addressing them with the utmost care. Her extensive knowledge and understanding of the human body were evident in her ability to accurately diagnose and develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to my specific needs. What truly impressed me was Tessa’'s ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. She patiently guided me through each step of the treatment process, ensuring that I understood the purpose and benefits of each exercise or technique. This not only empowered me to actively participate in my own recovery but also instilled a sense of trust and confidence in her abilities. I am delighted to say that thanks to Tessa's expertise and guidance, I have experienced significant improvement in my condition. Her holistic approach, combining manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education, has not only alleviated my pain but also equipped me with the tools to prevent future injuries. I highly recommend FlexiFit Physio to anyone in need of physiotherapy services. Their professionalism, expertise, and genuine care for their patients make them an outstanding practitioner in their field. I am very grateful for the positive impact they have had on my health and well-being.

I can’t recommend the team at Flexifit highly enough! I’ve had chronic shoulder problems for 2 years and seen other specialists which hadn’t solved the problem. Tessa at Flexifit sourced the problem and after the first session, my shoulders were sitting aligned - the first time that’s happened in 2 years. I felt validated with the pain I was in and feel so much more positive about my treatment pathway with Flexifit.

Georgia’s brilliant and excels in all the areas I want from a physio - diagnosing/figuring out the prob, massage and physical work, and then exercises to do at home to help long term. Worth the 40 minute drive!

I've been seeing Georgia and Tessa from FlexiFit for the last year, and they have both been outstanding. They are caring, compassionate and highly skilled. They have assisted me with managing multiple injuries and I've referred several members of my family who are equally impressed with their services! Thank you, Georgia and Tessa, you guys are amazing!

Great experience helping with my ACL recovery, would recommend

I can commend Georgia and Tessa for their excellent hands-on approach. So many physios nowadays are often hands-off, so being treated at FF has been a refreshing change 🙌🏻

Georgia and Tessa are both friendly and professional and have helped fix my injuries and get me moving again. They are very hands on and I highly recommend them

The girls at FlexiFit are simply amazing. So kind, friendly, understanding and knowledgeable. They know exactly what my body needs. My neck pain has improved dramatically since going here. Love my visits!

Can Deep Tissue Massage Help Frozen Shoulder

Can Deep Tissue Massage Help A Frozen Shoulder?

Living with a frozen shoulder isn’t just inconvenient—it’s downright frustrating. Everyday movements like reaching for your coffee mug or buckling your seatbelt can feel impossible due to stiffness and pain. If you’re considering your treatment options, deep tissue massage might be worth exploring. But can deep tissue massage help a frozen shoulder?

The good news is, yes, it can help. Deep tissue massage works by targeting tight muscles and connective tissues, breaking down adhesions and boosting blood flow. This eases pain, improves mobility and speeds up recovery.

In this article, we’ll break down how this massage technique works, its benefits for frozen shoulders and when it’s time to consult a professional. Keep reading to see if deep tissue massage could bring you lasting relief.

Can Deep Tissue Massage Help Frozen Shoulder? A Quick Overview

Absolutely! Deep tissue massage can be a game-changer for a frozen shoulder. By working on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, this technique helps loosen stiffness, ease pain and improve mobility. It also breaks down scar tissue and boosts circulation, supporting your shoulder’s recovery. When paired with professional care, it’s a practical and effective way to get your shoulder moving again.

Experience Expert Frozen Shoulder Treatment at FlexiFit Physiotherapy in Australia

Don’t let a frozen shoulder limit your daily activities. At FlexiFit Physiotherapy, our certified therapists specialise in deep tissue massage designed to ease pain and improve mobility. With tailored treatments for frozen shoulders, we help you regain comfort and functionality, ensuring a speedy and safe recovery.

Take the first step toward relief today. Contact FlexiFit Physiotherapy at 02 8542 9507 or visit our Contact Us page to book your session. Your journey to better mobility starts here.

What Is a Frozen Shoulder?

Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a condition where the shoulder joint becomes stiff and painful due to inflammation and thickening of the capsule surrounding the joint. It progresses through three stages:

  1. Freezing Stage: Pain and limited range of motion begin to develop, which often worsens over time.
  2. Frozen Stage: Pain may decrease, but stiffness becomes severe and restricts movement.
  3. Thawing Stage: Mobility gradually improves as the shoulder heals.

While a frozen shoulder can resolve on its own, this process may take months or even years. Effective treatments, like deep tissue massage, can help speed up recovery.

How Deep Tissue Massage Can Help Frozen Shoulders

Deep tissue massage offers several benefits for managing a frozen shoulder by addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes of the condition. Here’s how it works:

Relieves Muscle Tension and Pain

By applying firm pressure to deeper muscle layers, deep tissue massage releases knots and adhesions that contribute to stiffness and discomfort. This helps reduce pain and improve flexibility.

Breaks Down Scar Tissue

Frozen shoulders often involve the formation of scar tissue, which limits mobility. Deep tissue massage helps break down these adhesions and restore the natural range of motion in your shoulder.

Improves Circulation

Enhanced blood flow delivers oxygen and nutrients to the affected area, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. This process speeds up recovery and minimises pain.

Supports Mobility and Flexibility

Regular deep tissue massage loosens tight muscles and connective tissues, which then makes it easier to perform daily activities without pain. Improved flexibility also reduces the risk of further injury.

Other Benefits of Deep Tissue Massage

In addition to addressing frozen shoulders, deep tissue massage offers several general health benefits:

  • Stress Reduction: Reduces cortisol levels and promotes relaxation.
  • Improved Posture: Corrects muscle imbalances that can lead to poor posture.
  • Enhanced Sleep: Relieves pain and stress for better rest.
  • Injury Prevention: Keeps muscles flexible and less prone to strain.

What to Expect During a Deep Tissue Massage for Frozen Shoulders

If you’re considering deep tissue massage, here’s what you can expect during a session:

  1. Initial Assessment: Your therapist will evaluate your shoulder’s condition and identify areas of tension.
  2. Warm-Up: Gentle strokes prepare the muscles for deeper pressure.
  3. Targeted Pressure: Firm, slow strokes focus on releasing tension in specific areas of the shoulder and surrounding muscles.
  4. Stretching: Light stretching may be incorporated to improve flexibility and mobility.
  5. Post-Massage Advice: Your therapist may recommend exercises or stretches to maintain the benefits of the session.

When to Seek Professional Care

While self-massage can provide temporary relief, professional deep tissue massage ensures the best results. Seek expert care if you experience:

  • Persistent shoulder pain that limits daily activities.
  • Difficulty sleeping due to discomfort.
  • Stiffness that does not improve with home remedies.
  • A previous shoulder injury or surgery.

Key Tips to Enhance Your Deep Tissue Massage Experience

To maximise the benefits of your massage sessions, consider these additional tips:

  1. Stay Active: Gentle exercises like shoulder rolls and pendulum swings maintain mobility.
  2. Apply Heat: Use a heating pad to relax muscles before your massage.
  3. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water post-massage to flush out toxins.
  4. Stretch Regularly: Incorporate stretches into your daily routine to prevent stiffness.
  5. Follow Up: Schedule regular massage sessions for consistent progress.

Can Deep Tissue Massage Prevent Frozen Shoulder?

While it may not entirely prevent frozen shoulders, deep tissue massage can reduce the risk by addressing factors like muscle tension, poor posture and stress. Regular therapy keeps the shoulder muscles flexible and less prone to injuries or chronic stiffness.

Final Thoughts

Deep tissue massage is a powerful tool for managing and relieving frozen shoulders. By reducing pain, improving mobility and promoting healing, it offers a holistic approach to recovery. However, professional guidance is key to ensuring safe and effective treatment.
