Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic treatments address mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, focusing on spinal manipulation to improve nervous system function. We treat back pain, neck pain, and headaches without drugs or surgery. Patients receive comprehensive examinations and tailored treatment plans to restore mobility and prevent future injuries.
Osteopathy
Osteopathic treatments use manual techniques to diagnose and treat joint, back, and neck pain. We employ soft tissue work and joint mobilisation to improve mobility and alleviate chronic conditions. Gentle techniques are adapted for elderly patients and children, with sessions typically lasting 30 minutes.
Applied Kinesiology
This diagnostic system uses manual muscle testing to identify bodily imbalances before symptoms develop. Treatments combine structural adjustments, dietary advice, and meridian therapy to restore function. Non-invasive testing helps create personalised rehabilitation programs for chronic or acute conditions.
Sports Therapy
Specialised treatment for sports injuries includes therapeutic massage, ultrasound therapy, and exercise prescription. We focus on restoring function through tailored rehabilitation programs and sports-specific training. Home exercise adaptations ensure continued progress between sessions.
Rehabilitation
Our rehabilitation programs restore injured limbs to full function while improving overall fitness. Customised exercise plans prevent recurrence and maintain mobility. Treatments integrate sports therapy techniques with home-based exercise routines for continuous patient progress.
