Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractors specialise in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments. We address back pain, neck pain, and joint issues using evidence-based techniques that improve mobility and reduce nerve irritation. Treatment plans often combine spinal manipulations with rehabilitative exercises to achieve lasting results. Patients benefit from individualised care addressing both immediate symptoms and underlying biomechanical causes.
Physiotherapy
Specialist physiotherapy services include diagnostic ultrasound and injection therapy for chronic pain management. Our practitioners develop tailored rehabilitation programs combining manual therapy, exercise prescription, and patient education. This holistic approach helps patients recover from injuries, improve mobility, and prevent future musculoskeletal issues through targeted interventions and lifestyle modifications.
Sports Therapy
Sports therapy focuses on injury prevention and performance optimisation for active individuals. Our certified therapists employ soft tissue techniques, biomechanical assessments, and sport-specific rehabilitation programs. Services include pre-participation screening, injury recovery plans, and return-to-play protocols that ensure safe resumption of physical activities while minimising re-injury risks.
Shockwave Therapy
This non-invasive treatment uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Effective for plantar fasciitis, tendonopathies, and frozen shoulder, shockwave therapy promotes tissue regeneration and pain reduction. Each 5-10 minute session delivers targeted energy to affected areas, with most patients requiring 3-5 treatments for optimal results.
Massage Therapy
Our sports and remedial massage treatments address muscular tension, sports injuries, and stress-related conditions. Therapists employ deep tissue techniques, myofascial release, and trigger point therapy to improve circulation, reduce pain, and enhance mobility. Regular sessions help maintain musculoskeletal health, prevent injuries, and support overall wellbeing through therapeutic touch.

Questions
Do I need a GP referral for treatment?
No referral is required. Our practitioners can assess and treat patients directly while maintaining communication with GPs when appropriate.
What's the difference between chiropractors and physiotherapists?
Both professions treat musculoskeletal issues but with different approaches. Chiropractors focus on spinal adjustments while physiotherapists use rehabilitation exercises and soft tissue techniques. Our clinic offers both services for comprehensive care.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on individual conditions. Initial assessments determine required frequency and duration, with most patients experiencing improvement within 6-12 sessions.
Are treatments covered by insurance?
Most private health insurance policies cover our services. Patients should check with their providers for specific coverage details and required documentation.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept major credit/debit cards, cash, and insurance direct payments. Flexible payment options available for ongoing treatment plans.
