A variety of treatment techniques can be employed to enable to patient to receive the most appropriate and effective road to recovery
-
Mobilisation
-
Gliding of joint surfaces to stimulate nerve endings to reduce pain and increase movement at the joint. This technique is mostly performed at the joints of the spine and peripheral joints including, hip, knee, ankle, foot, shoulder, elbow, wrist ad hand.
-
Manipulation
-
This is performed by taking the joint to the end of range (as far as it will go) and performing a thrust (extra movement) to that particular joint to enable correction of joint position, release of soft tissue abnormalities and correction of abnormal vertebral movement.
-
Manual Traction
-
This is performed only at the neck, to stretch soft tissue and allow increased space at joints.
-
Sports Massage
-
Soft Tissue Release
-
Neural Dynamic Exercise
-
Mobilisations and exercises designed to optimise movement of nerves
-
Postural Correction

Specially useful and effective for patients who have desk based jobs or perform a lot of manual labour during their everyday activities.
-
Therapeutic Ultrasound
-
This piece of equipment sends high frequency sounds waves into the joint to be treated, this causes vibration of the molecules within the joint thus producing kinetic energy, also known as heat.
-
Interferential Therapy
-
Used for muscle stimulation and causing production of endorphins (‘feel good’ hormones).
