Four hands-on approaches, matched to your pain

After your assessment, your physiotherapist combines these based on what is causing the pain, not just where it is.

Dry needling

Fine needles release tight trigger points in muscle. Useful for stubborn knots in the neck, back, shoulders and hips.

Manual therapy

Joint mobilisation and soft-tissue work by hand to ease stiffness and get movement back in the spine and joints.

Exercise therapy

A short set of exercises you do at home, progressed each visit, to help keep the pain from coming back.

Therapeutic massage

Deep-tissue and remedial massage to relax overworked muscles and improve blood flow. You choose the pressure.
