Services
Spinal Pain Management
Our spinal pain management service combines manual therapy, diagnostics, and tailored exercise programs. We address structural, movement, and psychosocial factors through evidence-based techniques like hydrotherapy and Pilates. Patients receive individualised recovery strategies to reduce pain and prevent recurrence.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
We offer structured rehabilitation programs for lumbar, cervical, hip, knee, and shoulder surgeries. Our low, medium, and high-intensity plans include strength training, mobility exercises, and movement retraining. Supervised sessions and home-based strategies ensure safe recovery and reduced re-injury risk.
Strength Assessment
Using DAVID technology, we assess back, neck, and leg strength against normative databases. Reports identify weaknesses and track progress. Custom strength training programs target deficits, enhancing resilience and functional capacity for injury recovery or prevention.
Exercise Programs
Our supervised group classes and one-on-one sessions include Pilates, cardio, and resistance training. Programs are tailored to individual goals, combining gym equipment, hydrotherapy, and home exercises. Sessions focus on improving mobility, strength, and overall fitness for long-term health.
Shoulder Rehabilitation
We diagnose and treat shoulder conditions like rotator cuff injuries and adhesive capsulitis. Strength assessments using JTech equipment guide targeted rehabilitation. Programs integrate mobility work, resistance training, and postural correction to restore function and prevent recurrence.

Love this place. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and all the physios I've seen have been thorough and comprehensive in their treatment. The equipment is very easy to use, all in a spotlessly clean space.
