Muscle Imbalance Physiotherapy
Personalised treatment plan
Muscle imbalance occurs when opposing muscles or muscle groups are not working in harmony. This may mean that one set of muscles is stronger, tighter, or more active than the other, leading to inefficient movement patterns, strain on joints, and an increased risk of injury.
Left unaddressed, muscle imbalances can contribute to pain, reduced mobility, and long-term musculoskeletal issues.
What Does Muscle Imbalances Cause?
Muscle imbalances can have wide-ranging effects on your body and daily life, including:
- Poor posture and spinal alignment problems
- Joint pain or strain (commonly in the shoulders, hips, knees, or back)
- Reduced flexibility and range of motion
- Decreased athletic performance or increased injury risk
- Overcompensation by other muscles, leading to further imbalance
- Difficulty performing functional activities or maintaining an active lifestyle
Over time, untreated muscle imbalances may cause chronic pain, joint wear and tear, and movement dysfunction.
How Can Physiotherapy Help with Muscle Imbalance?

Highly recommend.
I had been dealing with persistent shoulder pain that was affecting my daily life and sleep. After trying various treatments with little success, I visited caregate clinics, where Raj recommended shockwave therapy. The results were amazing!

Very happy with treatment.
My arm had no good movement after stroke. Walking was very hard, very slow. Raj helped me lot. He gave very good exercises, was very patient with me. Now my arm is stronger, I can hold things better. My walking is also better, more balance.

I can’t recommend him highly enough!
I had been struggling with severe lower back pain and sciatica, which made even the simplest tasks unbearable—especially sleeping. After seeing Raj my pain levels reduced significantly, and for the first time in weeks, I was able to get a good night’s sleep.

I’m back to doing what I love!
I sprained my ankle playing sports, and at first, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get back to my usual activities. They provided me with exercises that were perfect for my age and helped me regain strength and mobility.
