Back/Neck Care
This is the most common type of pain suffered by a majority of people at some point in their lives. However, left untreated, these injuries could take up to four weeks to improve and may even have the possibility of going from acute to chronic. Why accept four weeks of back or neck pain when early intervention can shorten, or accelerate …
Physiotherapy will help your body heal faster and reduce the risk of the condition worsening.

Therapy Style
Visceral Manipulation
Visceral Manipulation Therapy (VMT) is the gentle manipulation to encourage normal mobility, tone and motion of internal organs and their connective tissue. Internal organs can be impacted by fear, anxiety or other emotional shock and can manifest itself as pain in the form of a headache, knotted stomach, or tension. VMT can improve mobility of the internal organs and restoration of physical and emotional health.
Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral Therapy applies gentle pressure to the skull, bones, spine, diaphragm and other areas, providing relief from pain caused by body misalignment and stress among other things. This therapy promotes a sense of wellbeing for both mind and body by stimulating the release of any negative emotions and tension, known as a ‘SomatoEmotional Release’, which may have been contributory factors in the pain or discomfort experienced.
Neuro-rehabilitation
Helping patients regain the ability to complete ‘Activities of Daily Living’ (ADLs) through a comprehensive regimen of exercise for the limbs and trunk, aimed at maximising muscle movement and function. Physio fx therapies include:
- Practising safe methods of transfer from one location to another
- Learning or re-learning ambulation, both indoors and outdoors
- Identification and correction of abnormal walking patterns
- Learning or re-learning stair-climbing, with or without handrails
Dry Needling
Relief of tight muscles through the insertion of an extremely fine, single use, sterile solid needle directly into the affected muscle causing a change in the neuromuscular control and easing tightness. Dry needling is effective in treating muscles in spasm and studies indicate the technique’s usefulness as a secondary treatment for alleviating lower back pain.
A modern Western technique, dry needling should not be confused with traditional Chinese acupuncture
