DRY NEEDLING

Acupuncture needles are placed into symptomatic or hypertonic (tight) areas in a muscle to provide immediate relief in pain and an improvement in range of motion. A twitch response is often elicited indicating the release of a trigger point or muscle knot. This intervention is very potent for those athletes pushing their bodies to the limits and needing the fastest relief of pain and restoration of movement.

MANUAL THERAPIES

Our hands reach deep into our toolbox to provide a comprehensive selection of evidence based manual therapy techniques to relieve pain, restore range of motion and regain power back to the system. Such manual therapies are adjuncts that give you that break you were looking for in order to get back-2-the very things responsible for longer term management.

EXERCISE REHAB

Generalised programs based around exercises that ‘should’ help are not good enough for us. Clinical testing allows quantifiable data to create a footprint of where you are currently at, where you need to be, and most importantly, where you want to be! Every single rep, of every single set, for every single exercise is done so with clinical expertise to ensure accountability of results and a smooth trajectory towards optimal function.

MOBILITY PROGRAMS

Movement imbalances within the body can cause unwanted stresses about a joint. This may increase vulnerability to injury over time. Tailoring a mobility program can ensure that you enhance your body’s healing environment whilst decreasing the chance of such injuries returning in the future. Never EVER underestimate the power and importance of flexibility for efficient and fluent movement.

POSTURAL ANALYSIS

Some postures or alignments are fixed, some are transient and some are able to be altered. Our job is to assess if, and how particular postures, positions or angles  influence your pain. Research will tell us that every individual is wired differently, so leave it to us in telling you how best we can manage and educate you about the topic of posture.
