Sessions May Include

Injury Prevention and Management

Injuries occur in many different settings, ranging from the sports field to the workplace. Using the latest evidence, our physiotherapist can assess and treat using a combination of manual massage and deep tissue release, dry needling (Western acupuncture), taping, exercise prescription, and providing advice and education regarding the specifics of the injury and expected healing times. The physiotherapist has extensive experience dealing with WorkCover claims. Quote your WC claim number upon booking.

  • Back injuries (bulging disc, postural correction, etc)
  • Neck (whiplash, wryneck, etc)
  • Knee, hip and ankle
  • Shoulder, elbow and wrist
