We offer a thorough initial 45 minute assessment session following which the physiotherapist will discuss your diagnosis and individualised bespoke treatment program. An accurate assessment will determine the most appropriate course of treatment to suit you as an individual. Achieving the best recovery possible so that you can get back to doing what you enjoy most.
Manual Therapy
Manual physiotherapy is a a structured approach to delivering hands on physical therapy, this can involve joint mobilisations, manipulation and soft tissue massage. These treatment techniques are integrated with exercise, patient education, and other physical therapy modalities to address pain, loss of function, and wellness.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can provide a great source of pain relief for a variety of conditions. It involves stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles.
This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins. It's likely that these naturally released substances are responsible for the beneficial effects experienced with acupuncture.
Below are just some of the common benefits of acupuncture experienced by patients of our clinic:
- Improve range of motion & joint flexibility.
- Ease medication dependence.
- Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.
- Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and improving nerve flow.
- Reduce post surgery adhesions and swelling.
- Reduce spasms and cramping.
