Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Primal focuses on restoring mobility and function through hands-on treatment and evidence-based exercise programs. Our physiotherapists address sports injuries, post-surgery recovery, and chronic pain using manual therapy and movement analysis. Clients receive personalised care plans tailored to their specific conditions and lifestyle goals.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy services utilise structural diagnosis and hands-on techniques to treat musculoskeletal issues. Our practitioners address postural imbalances, joint pain, and systemic conditions through holistic treatment approaches. Sessions incorporate soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, and patient education for long-term wellness outcomes.
Sports Injury Rehab
Specialised sports injury rehabilitation combines biomechanical assessment with targeted exercise prescription. Our team treats ACL tears, shoulder injuries, and other sports-related conditions using gym-based rehab and performance optimisation techniques. Programs focus on safe return-to-sport timelines and injury prevention strategies.
Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain management addresses persistent conditions through multidisciplinary approaches. Services include nervous system down-regulation techniques, movement retraining, and lifestyle modifications. Our practitioners specialise in treating complex cases involving fibromyalgia, arthritis, and postural syndromes.
Gym-Based Rehabilitation
Gym-based rehab programs integrate functional movement patterns with strength development. Clients progress through supervised exercise sessions designed to improve mobility, stability, and overall physical capacity. This approach bridges clinical treatment with real-world activity preparation.
