Long stretches at a desk or on the train can keep a sore back stiff, and pain that disturbs your sleep can make stress harder to manage.

We treat for the following conditions:
We focus on strengthening your body to support your joints, getting them moving again and improving your overall ability to move. In order to get you to this point, we come up with an individualised exercise plan for you to increase your strength and flexibility.
Arthritis treatment
Sports injuries affect bones, muscles, tissues and cartilage and are detrimental to normal daily activities, not just athletic performance. Sports injuries require supervision and time to heal safely.
Sports physio rehab
We will decide upon a course of action and treat you with manual therapy, exercises and use of heat or ice to relieve pain. This includes training for proper lifting, sitting, and bending and proper sleeping positions.
Back pain
Hydrotherapy focuses on slow and controlled movements that lead to relaxation. At the same time, pushing against the water helps improve muscle strength.
Hydrotherapy
This includes our Vibro Trainer for advanced muscle training and our Gaitscan™ biomechanical footprint scanner to identify abnormalities and prescribe custom orthotics.
Our equipment
We also supply equipment that aids in rehabilitation and injury prevention such as supportive braces, therapeutic sandals and contoured pillows. Our staff is happy to help you obtain these materials to promote your speedy recovery.

Our treatment plan for you begins with a comprehensive assessment and physical exam to diagnose your condition. We then communicate with you and other health professionals to collaborate on a treatment and recovery plan to get you back on your feet. When we have determined your health goal, we will begin treatment which involves hands-on mobilisation and soft tissue techniques.
Once your initial complaint is treated, we will teach you to manage your pain and aid your recovery.
All of our treatment techniques are based on scientific research and clinical experience. We are always adapting to new treatment methods and advances in technology so you receive the most up-to-date care.
