Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is an AHPRA-recognised physical therapy focusing on joint, muscle, and bone health through hands-on techniques. We treat chronic pain, injuries, and posture issues by addressing root causes rather than symptoms. Our osteopaths use stretching, massage, and strength training to improve mobility and accelerate natural healing processes for long-term recovery.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) uses ultrasound waves to stimulate tissue repair and reduce pain. This non-invasive treatment targets damaged muscles, tendons, and joints by promoting blood flow and collagen production. We use it for chronic conditions like plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and rotator cuff injuries to accelerate recovery without surgery.
Infrared Laser Therapy
Infrared laser therapy uses light energy to reduce inflammation and promote cellular repair. Our DJO LightForce device delivers dual wavelengths (810nm/980nm) for deep tissue penetration. This painless treatment accelerates healing for musculoskeletal injuries by stimulating ATP production and improving circulation without pharmaceutical side effects.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into muscle trigger points to relieve tension and pain. Combined with electro-stimulation, this technique improves blood flow and relaxes tight muscles. We use it to treat chronic pain conditions by targeting neuromuscular dysfunction while ensuring patient comfort throughout the process.
Functional Strength Training
Functional strength training develops movement patterns for daily activities and injury prevention. Our osteopaths create personalized exercise programs to improve posture, stability, and mobility. This includes online video guidance and ergonomic assessments to address workplace-related musculoskeletal issues through targeted strength and stretching exercises.
