Manual Therapy
Manipulation and mobilisation of joints to relieve stiffness and pain. Soft tissue release techniques and traction to improve flexibility, posture and function.
Sports Massage
The techniques used allow for gentle or deep soft tissue release as required. Massage helps improve circulation and reduce post-exercise soreness. It also increases flexibility, releases tight muscles and therefore enhances overall sports performance.
Electrotherapy
Practitioners in the clinic use Ultrasound and Interferential machines, which help reduce soft tissue swelling and pain and promote healing and recovery.
Core Stability Training
These techniques and exercises are based on the activation of the deep abdominal and low back muscles to protect the spine, through exercise. The results are, improved posture and body shape, reduced back pain, neck pain and headaches and enhanced sports performance.
