treatments

acupuncture

Acupuncture has been used to address a variety of health conditions in the Far East for over 2500 years. Acupuncture involves the insertion of sterile, single-use, ultra fine needles into specific points in the body. We use acupuncture to relieve pain and speed up recovery.

strapping

Strapping is used to restrict joint movement and provide external support to injured joints. It can also be used to help rehabilitate muscles by providing feedback when unhelpful movements and postures are adopted.

mobilisations/manipulations

Mobilisations/manipulations are specific movements of individual joints to improve their ability to move through the normal range. A manipulation is a swift, small movement at the end of the range that can be very effective at restoring the normal range of movement.
