Treatments Provided
-
Dry needling uses fine needles to penetrate the muscle to increase blood flow to the area. Needles are used to specifically target trigger-points within the muscle. The aim of dry needling is to reduce muscle tension, decrease pain and increase localised blood flow.
After Care: Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, avoid ice, use heat to reduce muscle soreness.
-
Myofacial cupping involves using plastic cups to create a suction effect on the soft tissues at the treatment area. The cups apply a sustained stretch to the muscles and connective tissues to reduce tension and increase blood flow. The increased blood flow also produces increased lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling.
After Care: Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, avoid strenous exercise for 24 hours.
-
Ultrasound Therapy uses 1 & 3MHz soundwaves to enhance and improve the efficiency of tissue healing.
After Care: Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol.
-
Electrotherapy has many benefits such as reducing pain, preventing muscle atrophy and increasing localised blood flow. Electrotherapy is performed by applying pads to the skin that provide electrical impulses to the body.
After Care: Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, avoid caffeine.
-
Spinal manipulation involves a controlled thrust to a specific joint within the spine. This can reduce pain and reduce pressure on the joints.
After Care: Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, avoid total rest.
-
Joint mobilisation is a manual therapy technique that aims to improve the range of motion at a specific joint. This is done by passively moving the joint based on the goal of the treatment. Other benefits of joint mobilisation includes reduced pain and improved joint function.
After Care: Stay hydrated, avoid alcohol, avoid total rest.
-
Kinesiology taping provides benefits such as increasing blood flow, increasing lymphatic drainage and increasing joint proprioception. K Tape can also help reduce pain at the area of taping.
