Physiotherapy Services we Provide

Following a thorough initial assessment of your issue, treatment may include;

Manual Therapy

Our physiotherapy sessions have strong emphasis on hands-on treatment and it is delivered to an advanced level.

Joint and spinal Mobilisation - Techniques to improve the range of movement of specific joints and tissues
Spinal Manipulation - Short lever, quick movements to instantly create improved function and range of movement in your joints
Muscle energy techniques - A technique that uses light resistance to activate the body's reflexes to restore tissue tension and range of movement in the muscle and joint.
Soft tissue techniques - Massage, sports massage, trigger point release therapy, cranio-sacral holds
Myofascial Release - Specific soft tissue technique to improve movement, posture, and function. Please note we blend Myofascial Release with other soft tissue techniques as part of our treatments. It is not a standalone treatment.
Diaphragmatic release work - Gentle techniques that releases the diaphragm to improve breathing. Specifically helpful in conditions such headaches, shoulder pain and neck pain
Taping techniques - Using various types of tape to improve better movement, stability or less pain.
Neuro-muscular facilitation - Careful hand placements over a joint or muscle to help with better movement or muscular contraction.
Somatic Energy Medicine - Light touch with visualisation to regulate the nervous system. Nervous system regulation is key for reducing pain, and it creates a more optimised environment for the body to start recovering.

Individualised Exercise Prescription

Exercises are specific to each client's set of circumstances, and we always consider your function and levels of discomfort.

Exercise prescription is based on the latest science and prescribed for the desired muscle/tendon stimulus needed for return to activity whether that is getting out of a chair, playing golf or gardening.
