Our services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists use various manual therapy techniques that help improve range of movement, decrease pain and improve normal function. This can involve joint mobilization and manipulation. This can be very beneficial in addressing dysfunction in the musculoskeletal system.
Vestibular Physiotherapy
Vestibular Physiotherapy is a specialized field that is used to treat vertigo and dizziness. Through a series of diagnostic tests, we can diagnose your condition and provide treatment to fix the condition.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a treatment option that uses a very thin needle inserted directly into trigger points, or tight spots, within the muscle. This can release tension, reduce pain and restore function to the area.
Pilates
Pilates is a series of movements and exercises that promotes controlled strengthening and mobility. The “core” is targeted to improve overall functioning of the body and to help correct our alignment. Pilates is safe for all levels and can be greatly beneficial during injury management or as an injury prevention mechanism for all levels. For further information please contact us.
Remedial Massage
Relax, unwind and have those aches and pains sorted out with our Massage Therapist. Our massage therapy consists primarily of hands-on manipulation of the soft tissues of the body, specifically, the muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints for the purpose of optimizing your health.
Cupping
Myofascial cupping is a soft tissue therapy that involves the application of decompressed cups on the skin, creating a vacuum effect that lifts up underlying tissues such as the fascia ( connective tissue ) and muscles, blood and other fluid, close to the surface of the skin. Myofascial cupping is typically applied on back, shoulder, neck, sacrum, hip, abdomen, legs and arms.
Taping
Taping, or strapping, can be utilised in numerous ways. It can be used in injury management to provide stability to a joint and surrounding soft tissue structures after an injury, e.g. an ankle after a sprain. It can also be used to correct biomechanics and reduce problematic movement patterns, such as postural dysfunction. Kinesio tape can be used in injury prevention, to help support active muscles during activity.
