Services

Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists treat muscular, joint, and neurological conditions using manual therapy, dry needling, and exercise rehabilitation. We focus on identifying root causes of pain while providing immediate symptom relief through evidence-based techniques. Treatment programs include corrective exercises and lifestyle advice to prevent recurrence, with collaboration between physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, and other healthcare professionals when required.

Exercise Physiology

Accredited exercise physiologists design tailored programs for chronic disease management and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Services address conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and arthritis through supervised sessions that improve physical function and overall wellbeing. Programs combine education with progressive exercise plans to enhance clients' ability to self-manage their health conditions effectively.

Remedial Massage

Remedial massage targets muscle and connective tissue disorders through deep tissue manipulation. This therapy improves circulation, reduces pain, and enhances mobility for both injury recovery and performance optimisation. Our therapists use specialised techniques to address sports injuries, chronic tension, and postural imbalances, with options for pregnancy-specific treatments.

Dry Needling

Dry needling accelerates recovery from muscular pain and dysfunction using fine needle insertion. This evidence-based technique effectively treats chronic pain, sports injuries, and movement restrictions by targeting trigger points and promoting natural healing processes. Combined with other physiotherapy interventions for enhanced outcomes.

Reformer Pilates

Reformer Pilates classes improve core strength, flexibility, and posture through controlled resistance exercises. Our classes cater to various fitness levels, focusing on injury prevention and functional movement patterns. Equipment-based training provides progressive challenges while maintaining safety for both rehabilitation and general fitness purposes.

I’ve seen many Dr’s and therapists over many years for pain, it wasn’t until I was treated at Menai District Physio by Melissa who suggested some simple tests that an autoimmune joint inflammation issue was found to be the cause, finally now I’m on my way to recover! She is amazing!!!

These guys are amazing! Ivana, Andy, Peter.... I have the ability to say that they literally helped me out of excruciating pain due to a bulging disc, post op after a back operation mixed up with osteoarthritis. .....

are the people to see. There are many other staff members which I have not had the pleasure to meet, however all in all they are caring and compassionate with only your best interests and concerns at heart. I would recommend them 15 out of 10. Simply because when I walked in the door I could barely stand, now 9 days later, I can walk

Amazing and professional. Was able to get a same day appointment when I woke up with bad neck pain. Left the clinic with more mobility and a plan that got me back to racing in 48 hours. Very happy.
