Unique Treatment approach
-
100% hands on manual therapy: No electrical machines, tools, hot-packs or gimmicks. Research suggests that electrical machines, tools or gadgets have short lived benefits (3-5 mins) if any benefit at all!Hot-packs may help relax spasmy muscle temporarily - we will advise if you should do this at home.
-
Wide variety of techniques: Including Joint mobilisation, Joint manipulation "Click", Myofascial techniques, Trigger points, Anatomical Acupuncture (optional at no extra cost), exercise programs...
-
Personalised programs: You won't just get a pre-printed hand-out. We consider your condition as well as your work, sports, hobbies and goals. Your rehabilitation plan revolves around your lifestyle.
-
Ability to refer for X-rays and MRI: If we see the need, we can refer directly for X-rays or MRI. Xrays of spinal regions e.g. neck and/or back can be done at no cost to the patient.
We look forward to helping you!
