What We Do
Treatment of musculoskeletal injuries
The musculoskeletal system is made up of bones, muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and the connective tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together. This system gives us the ability to move and it also provides the body with form, support and stability.
As physiotherapists, we treat injuries to joints, ligaments, muscles, tendon and bone.
Running Gait Assessment
Through a treadmill assessment, we are able to closely observe what happens when you run. From this, we provide tips to improve your running performance and to reduce your injury risk overall. This, combined with our clinical assessment, can give a clue as to what may be aggravating your current injury or predisposing you to injury in the future.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy is primarily used to treat conditions such as stiff joints, mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines and chronic pain. It is a highly-skilled practice that uses a light touch to pinpoint key body points where an obstruction or stress occurs. It helps the body’s natural healing mechanisms dissipate the negative effects of stress on the central nervous system.
Chronic pain interventions
Pain is not something that you just ‘have to live with’. Understanding pain physiology is key to effective pain management. Progressive Goal Attainment Program(PGAP) and Therapeutic Neuroscience Education (TNE) are two programmes that we use.
Pre-surgical preparation
Patients who are having elective surgeries, such as knee replacements or ACL reconstruction, visit us for pre-surgical preparation. We prepare you for what to expect, answer questions, and teach patients how to walk with crutches to make their post-operative period easier.
Workplace assessments
Sometimes injuries persist because of how we sit and what we do during our work day. Often, a small adjustment to your office chair or work station set up can make all the difference to niggles and pain in your shoulders, neck, back and even buttocks and legs.
