Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques including manual therapy, joint mobilisation, and therapeutic exercise to treat injuries and chronic conditions. We focus on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and preventing recurrence through tailored rehabilitation programs. Each treatment plan incorporates patient education to promote self-management and long-term health outcomes.
Dry Needling
This technique uses fine needles to target muscle trigger points, improving blood flow and reducing tension. It effectively treats conditions like back pain, headaches, and sports injuries when combined with traditional physiotherapy. Our practitioners ensure informed consent before incorporating this treatment into your care plan.
Falls Prevention
Specialised programs address age-related balance decline through strength training and functional exercises. Our physiotherapists conduct home assessments and group classes to reduce fall risks, maintaining independence for older adults. The service includes coordination with family and healthcare providers for comprehensive care.
Clinical Pilates
Tailored Pilates sessions improve core stability, flexibility, and posture using reformer equipment and mat exercises. Small group classes focus on injury prevention and movement retraining under physiotherapist supervision. This method benefits back pain sufferers and post-injury rehabilitation patients.
Home Visits
We provide in-home assessment and treatment for patients with mobility limitations. Services include post-surgical rehabilitation, falls risk assessment, and exercise program implementation. This service maintains continuity of care while accommodating individual accessibility needs.
