How we treat your condition.
We will always make sure that our treatments are centred around patient preferences and needs, assuring all treatments are individualised to you and your goals. Below are some of the treatment techniques we often use for our patients within the one session.
-
![Deep Tissue Massage]()
Deep Tissue Massage
Gentle, targeted massage to release muscle tension, improve blood flow, and support the healing process. It’s especially effective for areas that feel tight, sore, or overworked.
-

Joint Mobilisation
Slow, controlled movements to improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, and restore your natural range of motion — especially useful for tight necks, backs, and hips.
-

Dry Needling
Dry needling is fantastic for reaching those hard to reach spots. The muscle will often ‘twitch’ to release tension and help with healing. Think of it like a super deep massage.
