Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists assess and treat spinal conditions using biomechanical corrections, posture improvement, and movement pattern adjustments. They collaborate with specialists to create tailored plans for surgical and non-surgical patients. Treatment integrates manual therapy, exercise prescription, and education to restore function and prevent recurrence.
Exercise Physiology
Clinical exercise programs address spinal health through behavior change, strength training, and functional movement. Our physiologists design evidence-based plans aligned with physiotherapy goals, focusing on prehabilitation, post-surgical recovery, and long-term wellness strategies tailored to individual lifestyles.
Remedial Massage
Specialized massage techniques target muscle tension and pain associated with spinal conditions. Therapists use cupping, dry needling, and stretching to complement physiotherapy, accelerating recovery by improving circulation and reducing muscular restrictions that impact spinal alignment.
Reformer Pilates
Clinical Pilates programs enhance spinal stability through controlled, resistance-based movements. Instructors develop goal-oriented routines that improve posture, core strength, and functional mobility, integrating safely with broader rehabilitation plans for surgical and chronic pain patients.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
We provide structured rehabilitation following spinal procedures, working alongside surgeons to optimize outcomes. Programs combine progressive exercise, pain management, and functional training to restore mobility, strength, and confidence after operations or injection therapies.
