Your Full Physiotherapy Experience
- Shockwave Therapy: A non-surgical treatment that delivers impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon in order to restore healing processes.
- Dry Needling: Involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to release muscle tightness, reduce pain, and restore movement.
- AxIT Testing: An advanced assessment system using force plates and handheld dynamometers to objectively measure strength, power, and movement patterns—allowing for precise, data-driven programming and progress tracking in rehabilitation and performance.
- Replay Ice Machine: A recovery tool that combines cold therapy and compression to reduce inflammation, minimise swelling, and relieve pain—commonly used after acute injuries or intense training.
- NormaTec: A dynamic compression system that enhances circulation, reduces muscle soreness, and supports recovery by delivering pulsed pressure to the limbs.
- Compex Machine: A neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) device used to activate muscle contractions, enhance strength and endurance, reduce muscle soreness, and support recovery—especially beneficial during rehab or when muscle activation is limited.
- Heat Therapy: Used to increase blood flow, relax tight muscles, and improve joint mobility—often applied after exercise or rehabilitation sessions to prepare tissues for movement.

Whether it’s back or neck pain, a sporting injury, post-surgery recovery, or ongoing stiffness, treatment is tailored to your specific needs.
