Ankle and Lower Limb Treatment
Specialist treatment for ankle and knee injuries including ligament damage and biomechanical issues. We address plantar fasciitis, pronation problems, and sports-related trauma through manual therapy, exercise programs, and orthotic advice. Our approach prevents long-term complications by restoring proper joint function and mobility.
Back and Neck Pain
Comprehensive management of acute and chronic spinal conditions including disc problems, sciatica, and posture-related pain. Treatment combines soft tissue work, joint mobilisation, and targeted exercises to reduce nerve compression and improve spinal stability while addressing inflammation through modern therapeutic techniques.
Shoulder Pain
Specialised care for shoulder conditions including frozen shoulder, tendonitis, and arthritis. Our treatment integrates manual therapy, electrotherapy, and progressive strengthening exercises to restore range of motion and functional capacity while addressing postural contributors to shoulder dysfunction.
Arthritis Management
Tailored programs for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis sufferers focusing on maintaining joint mobility and muscle strength. We employ soft tissue techniques, acupuncture, and custom exercise regimens to manage pain and improve functional capacity in affected joints.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Structured rehabilitation following joint replacements and spinal surgeries. Our protocols reduce post-operative inflammation through electrotherapy and manual techniques while implementing progressive exercise programs to restore strength, mobility, and functional independence.
