Mobilisations
This is a gentle technique done on joints (the ligaments/capsule) to relieve
pain and increase movement. It is a step down form manipulations. We do
manipulations for the pelvis region and the low part of the spine (Lumbar
spine).

Dry
Needling
/ Acupuncture
Pain from muscle can be very severe at times and is under estimated the
amount of cases that are as a result of myofascial trigger points within
the muscle i.e. “knots in the muscle”.
The physiotherapist is trained to feel these under the skin and using an
acupuncture needle they are resolved with great effect.

Myofascial
Release
/Soft Tissue Massage
Fascia is a tissue that surrounds all of our muscles and it can get very
tight and painful. The tightness can cause limitation of movement and the
physio. can see this when she assess’ the patient. Based on the assessment
a technique called myofascial release is used to the untrained eye it can
look and feel like a massage.

Electrotherapy
We have TNS machines, ultrasound, interferential, laser. All used as and
when needed to reduce symptoms. We sell TNS machines and give a full demonstration
on how to use them including pictures of where to place the electrodes and
the different settings to get the most out of your machine.
We have had super success form them and it has helped patients to control
their pain independently at home thus meaning they require less physiotherapy
visits except for cases of extreme “flare ups” thereby helping
to keep medical costs down for clients.
