What we do.......
- Physical Therapy
Physical therapy is a holistic and patient-centered approach focusing on the manual treatment of the soft tissue - muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Therapists use highly skilled, hands-on techniques to diagnose, prevent or treat underlying conditions and problems. It is based on health science principles and works alongside other health care practices.
Physical therapy is founded on a tradition which recognizes and values the healing properties of touch. It is proven as being very safe, non-invasive and is of course, drug free. Each treatment is individually tailored. After carefully noting your history and completing a thorough physical examination will devise a treatment plan which may include suggesting appropriate changes to lifestyle, work practice or exercise..
- Manipulation Therapy
Manipulation is the attempt to restore the full joint mobility to a joint by a single forceful movement, usually when restoring motion after prolonged loss of motion with formation of adhesions that limit joint play. Manipulation is often associated with an audible popping sound caused by the instantaneous breakdown of gas bubbles that form during joint cavitation.
- Electro Medical
The use of specialized electrical devices to aid in the rehabilitation of injuries and pain relief, such as Interferential Therapy, Ultrasound, Tens etc.
- Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT)
Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) is a much specialized form of manual therapy. A therapist trained in NMT is educated in the physiology of the nervous system and its effect on the muscular and skeletal systems. The Neuromuscular Therapist also is educated in kinesiology and biomechanics. Neuromuscular Therapy is innovative in that it combines the best selection of soft tissue manipulation techniques developed by pioneers from a variety of healthcare professions.
- Sports and Remedial Massage
Sports and Remedial Massage is a form of massage regularly used among athletes before, during and after exercise. Nowadays, however, it is used among any individual who exercises on a weekly basis or uses their body for heavy-duty activity. It is well known in the prevention of injury and is a compliment to any workout.
- Deep Tissue Massage
Deep Tissue massage is a type of massage therapy that focuses on realigning deeper layers of muscles and connective tissue. It is especially helpful for chronically tense and contracted areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness, and sore shoulders.
