Is the first step of the treatment process and is recommended to those who have a presenting complaint or injury that is unknown.

It involves thorough evaluation of your medical history, current condition and specific concerns. 

The physiotherapist will use various assessment techniques such as physical examinations, range of motion tests, muscle strength tests, neurological tests and functional tests, to identify your physical impairments, strengths and limitations.

This helps the physiotherapist to develop a personalised treatment plan to address your needs and work towards improvement and overall well-being.

Is a traditional Chinese Medicine practice that involves sticking thin needles into specific points in the body. The goal is to stimulate these points to balance the flow of energy "qi" within the body and promote natural healing.

Benefits:

• Pain relief such as headaches, back pain and joint pain.
• Stress reduction.
• Improve sleep.
• Enhances mood.
• Support for various health conditions including digestive disorders and respiratory issues.

Involves inserting thin needles into trigger points or tight knots in muscles, tendons, ligaments or fascia. The goal is to release tension, reduce pain and promote healing.

Benefits:

• Pain relief.
• Increased flexibility and range of motion.
• Enhanced muscle function.
• Faster recovery from injuries.
• Complementary therapy for various conditions such as sports injuries, chronic pain and musculoskeletal disorders.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive treatment that  stimulates the body’s natural healing process. ESWT may be used to treat chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions, including tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, calcific shoulder, tennis elbow and other soft tissue injuries. 

WHAT IS A SHOCKWAVE?

Is a mechanical soundwave and is NOT an electrical impulse.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The device generates radial pressure waves through the collision of a projectile on an impact body, turning mechanical energy into biological signals which are propagated through the skin into the target tissue. This causes a cellular response, stimulation of blood flow, tissue regeneration and repair and pain relief. Shockwave therapy uses basic physics principles such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption and energy transfer to treat injured tissues. 

Benefits:

• Non-invasive treatment option.
• Increase in blood flow.
• Metabolic stimulation.
• Improved function and mobility.
• Modulation of pain receptors.
• Endorphin release.
• Cellular regeneration.
• Reduction in muscle tone.

 Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation is a treatment that uses low-level electrical currents to help reduce pain. Small electrodes are placed on the skin to stimulate the nerves, which can help block pain signals and encourage the release of natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body.

Benefits:

• Helps reduce pain levels.
• Can be used for both acute and chronic conditions.
• Non-invasive and drug-free.
• May improve movement by making activity more comfortable.
• Supports participation in rehabilitation exercises.
• Generally safe with minimal side effects.
