Services
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy uses a heated pool for supervised physiotherapy sessions that reduce muscle spasms and pain while improving circulation. The buoyancy of water allows safe exercise for those with musculoskeletal conditions or post-surgical needs. This service benefits all ages, particularly those with arthritis, joint replacements, or chronic pain.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Specialized exercises treat dizziness, vertigo, and balance disorders caused by inner ear issues. We address conditions like BPPV, Meniere's disease, and cervicogenic dizziness through tailored programs. Our physiotherapists have advanced skills in restoring equilibrium and reducing symptoms like unsteadiness and nausea.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets myofascial trigger points to relieve pain and dysfunction in muscles and connective tissues. This technique complements traditional physiotherapy for conditions like tennis elbow, shoulder pain, and migraines. Our practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate healing and improve mobility safely.
Sports Injuries
We treat sports-related injuries from minor sprains to complex post-surgical recovery. Our approach combines manual therapy, strength training, and sport-specific rehabilitation to accelerate return to activity. Services cater to both recreational and elite athletes with personalized injury prevention strategies.
Jaw Pain Therapy
Specialized care for temporomandibular joint disorders, including jaw pain, clicking, and headaches from clenching. We collaborate with dentists and maxillofacial specialists to provide manual therapy and postural correction. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation and restoring normal jaw function through targeted exercises.
