WHY CHOOSE US?

We are able to do this through our longer consultations, spending up to an hour on your first visit, to hear your story, listen to what’s bothering you and what you would like help with, thoroughly examine not only the site of symptoms, but the whole movement system.

We then do a series of tests, checking whole movement, then test muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments, tendons, postures and more to best direct your treatment plan. We use many traditional physiotherapy techniques to help you such as: goal setting, motivational interviewing, massage, strapping, manipulation, dry needling, exercise prescription, education and much more. Once your pain or key problem has resolved we go another step, helping you to RECHARGE. This means looking at ways to optimise your health, function, vitality, and prevent further injury.

Typically this will include the following:

Spinal and posture check. Why?
Many reasons, and here are just a few:

• Nerves come from the spine. Poor spine function can lead to reduced nerve flow which can make muscles weaker, muscle tension, poorer health, performance, and greater risk of injury.
• Poor posture leads to joint inefficiency, and greater chance of wear
• Poor posture can effect your breathing and circulation

Muscle balance assessment.

There are many muscles in your body, some move you, some stabilise, some make you bend, some make you rotate. Every movement, whether that be breathing, running or smiling requires control and balance of muscle activity. Imbalanced muscles can lead to unstable joints, functional weakness, reduced efficiency, increased risk of injury and can make you feel less than your best.

We can test muscle around every joint and help you rebalance them.

Assist with exercise program prescription.

We are meant to move. Correctly prescribed exercise can make you move better, feel better, think better and live better. Modern life needs to common movement imbalances that often need correcting. An exercise program needs to relate to your goals, and address your personal areas of strength and weakness, as well as being enjoyable and sustainable. We can help you find ways to move better and feel better.

Lifestyle review.

We are in a constant state of tissue break down and rebuilding. If there is more break down than rebuilding, you will feel sore, tired, old, injured, and less than your best. If there is more rebuilding than breakdown in the body you will start to feel better, more energetic, recover better, and feel your best.

Your body and how you feel is shaped by your lifestyle, especially your lifestyle over the last six weeks. Lifestyle factors include: movement and exercises, nutrition, rest and sleep, mood, and your environment.
