At your first visit our physiotherapists will conduct a full assessment, taking into consideration your full medical history, past injuries, work environment, home environment, any sport or recreational activities you take part in as well as your expectations and goals.
We assess problems with muscles, joints, cartilage, bones, ligaments, nerves and biomechanics.
If we feel you need to be referred to another medical practitioner we will refer you to the appropriate person.

This includes all types of manual therapy such as mobilization, manipulation, muscle energy techniques, deep tissue work and soft tissue release.

Dry needling is a scientifically based treatment for myofascial trigger points based on western medicine research and principles. It is mainly used to treat pain and dysfunction caused by muscle problems. A very thin needle is used which is inserted into the myofascial trigger point.
The myofascial trigger point was defined by Dr. Travell and Simons as a ‘hyperirritable spot in skeletal muscle’. The trigger point is a painful spot found on a taut band in the muscle which produces local pain on compression but can also refer pain, inhibit muscle activation and restrict range of motion. Releasing these points can help restore normal pain free movement.
