Services
Physiotherapy
Our one-on-one physiotherapy sessions begin with comprehensive assessments using ViMove sensor technology and clinical evaluations. Treatment plans combine evidence-based techniques like joint mobilization, soft tissue therapy, and sport-specific rehabilitation. We address biomechanical imbalances and develop personalized injury management strategies to restore function and prevent re-injury.
Sports Rehabilitation
Specialized sports rehabilitation programs focus on returning athletes to peak performance through tailored exercise prescription and movement analysis. We conduct sport-specific screenings to identify injury risks and implement prevention strategies. Our therapists have experience working with elite athletes across multiple sports including rugby, swimming, and soccer.
Post-Operative Rehab
Structured post-operative rehabilitation follows surgeon protocols while incorporating individual progress tracking. Our phased approach includes pain management, mobility restoration, strength rebuilding, and sport/work-specific conditioning. We coordinate care with surgical teams to ensure optimal recovery outcomes for procedures like joint replacements and ligament reconstructions.
Dry Needling
Dry needling treatments target trigger points and muscle tension using thin acupuncture needles. This technique provides pain relief and prepares muscles for strengthening exercises. Our physiotherapists combine local and global treatment approaches to address both immediate symptoms and underlying movement patterns.
VALD Assessment
VALD assessments use ForceDecks technology to measure strength asymmetry and movement patterns. This objective data informs rehabilitation programs for athletes and injured workers. We track progress through real-time feedback, ensuring balanced recovery and reduced re-injury risk for sports and occupational activities.
