What we offer
OSTEOPATHY
Comprehensive Osteopathic care for pain relief
Osteopathy is a philosophy of healthcare practice that places emphasis on the unique circumstances of each person. This perspective means that we can tailor hands-on care and exercise plans to your needs and expectations.
MANUAL THERAPY
Hands-on techniques to enhance mobility and reduce discomfort
Our clinicians are multi-skilled and can draw upon a number of different techniques and skills to improve patient outcomes. These potentially include a combination of soft tissue techniques, passive or active-assisted stretching, and passive or active-assisted mobilisations. All of which aim to reduce pain, tension, guarding, and facilitate optimal healing.
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture services to ease tension and promote healing
Tension and stress are often associated with pain. Both can increase a painful narrative. Dry needling and acupuncture techniques can be used to calm things down.
PHYSICAL THERAPY
Personalised programs for injury recovery
Our clinicians are experts in physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. They will be personalised to help you recover from your injuries, help regain movement and functionality, and ultimately aim to improve your strength and resilience.
We pride ourselves on ensuring you have everything you need to get you back to your best.
