Information

Manual Therapy & Mobilisation

Manual therapy techniques which are evidence based are used to treat musculoskeletal pain, stiffness and discomfort. We use a combination of joint mobilisation / manipulation, massage / trigger point / myofascial massage and will prescribe an individualised exercise program with self management strategies as part of this treatment. Your treatment will aim to eliminate and/or control pain and stiffness, increase a range of motion and improve flexibility. This will allow inflammation to settle, muscles to relax and an improve of general function so that you can enjoy an active life.

Treating Headaches & Migraines

Headaches can be debilitating and come in many forms: tension, sinus, cluster and migraine. We have various treatments available to our clients and will assess, diagnose and treat your headaches accordingly. There is growing evidence that headaches and migraines share a common disorder of the brain stem considered to be due to an irritated disc between the 2nd and the 3rd cervical vertabrae and dysfunction of the top three vertibral spinal segments which sensitise the brain stem. If your headache or migraine is caused from upper neck joint dysfunction we may be able to treat this over time with gentle mobilisation of the appropriate spinal segments in a smooth, sustained manner to correct vertabral and cervical dysfunction. This specific treatment plan includes education around self-management, exercises, self-mobilisation strategies, posture correction and ergonomic considerations. Teresa and Zaheera have had incredible success with assisting Migraine sufferers. If you would like to imagine your life free from headaches and migraines, be sure to book an appointment to discuss a personalised treatment plan.

Treating Jaw Pain / TMJ Syndrome

The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. If and injured or damaged, this can lead to pain also referred to as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. You may experience jaw clicking (with sometimes no pain at all), pain in the region or headaches associated with jaw / temporomandibular dysfunction. We can help resolve your symptoms with careful mobilisation of the jaw, trigger point relief and specific exercise prescription and advice on jaw care.

Mulligan Concept

Mulligan concept is a form of manual therapy where joints are mobilised with movement in functional positions.

Treating Women's Health Concern

Physiotherapy can alleviate symptoms relating to many areas of women's health including pre and post pregnancy back pain, PMT aches and pains and menopausal concerns. Notably, we can safely and carefully work with manually therapy relieving pain for pregnant women and women experiencing increased inflammation during their PMT cycle. In terms of bladder control - a common ailment many women feel like they have to live with - we have proven methods of pelvic floor training that increases functionality and increases overall control.

Dry Needling

Dry needling uses acupuncture needles to stimulate myofascia tissue (the dense tissue covering and surrounding muscles and bones) to treat pain, reduce muscle tension and facilitate muscle rehabilitation. Our practitioners are experienced in this area and find it to be an effective treatment for many clients.

Kinesio Taping

For specific injuries we offer the Kinesio taping technique. This is designed to facilitate the body’s natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints without restricting the body’s range of motion.

Therapy Aids

Your healing journey doesn't end when your appointment ends. We encourage our patients to complete at-home exercises and at times with the help of therapy aids such as resistance bands, rollers, and massage balls - all of which are available for pre-order at reception. Where appropriate we will guide you on where to acquire any necessary equipment.
