Services
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve tension and pain. This evidence-based technique uses fine needles to release knots, improve circulation, and reset neuromuscular patterns. Effective for neck pain, migraines, and sports injuries, it complements rehabilitation programs for faster recovery and long-term injury prevention.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy employs joint mobilizations and soft tissue techniques to restore mobility and reduce stiffness. Tailored to individual needs, it addresses back pain, sports injuries, and joint dysfunction. Combined with exercise rehab, it enhances recovery while improving flexibility, reducing inflammation, and correcting movement imbalances for sustainable outcomes.
Post-Surgery Rehabilitation
Post-surgery rehab follows evidence-based protocols for ACL repairs, knee replacements, and spinal surgeries. Programs focus on protecting surgical sites while rebuilding strength and mobility. Personalized plans ensure gradual return-to-sport or daily activity progression, guided by physiotherapists with orthopedic expertise and ongoing surgeon collaboration.
Sports Physiotherapy
Sports physiotherapy addresses acute injuries and performance optimization for athletes. Services include biomechanical analysis, return-to-play testing, and sport-specific rehab. With experience in AFL, CrossFit, and marathon training, our team prevents re-injury while enhancing athletic performance through tailored exercise and Pilates programs.
Headache Management
Headache management targets cervicogenic headaches and migraines through posture correction and manual therapy. Specialized treatment identifies neck-related triggers, combining joint mobilization with ergonomic advice. Chronic sufferers benefit from Pilates-based strengthening programs to improve neck stability and reduce headache frequency for long-term relief.
