Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy treatments address soft tissue pain and skeletal joint issues through manual therapy, myofascial release, and exercise prescription. We specialize in post-accident rehabilitation, sports injuries, and chronic pain management. Each session combines hands-on techniques with personalized recovery plans to restore mobility and prevent future injuries.
Intramuscular Stimulation
This evidence-based technique targets chronic pain through fine needle insertion into muscle trigger points. Developed by Dr. Gunn, IMS effectively treats neuropathic pain from nerve irritation, muscle tightness, and post-accident conditions. Sessions focus on immediate pain reduction and long-term nerve function improvement.
Acupuncture
Based on Traditional Chinese Medicine principles, our acupuncture treatments address pain, weight management, and systemic conditions. Certified practitioners use sterile needles to stimulate energy flow, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing for conditions ranging from migraines to musculoskeletal injuries.
Sports Medicine
Specialized care for athletic injuries combines manual therapy, taping techniques, and sport-specific rehabilitation. We treat acute injuries and chronic conditions from overuse, focusing on rapid recovery and performance optimization through evidence-based protocols developed with sports medicine experts.
Posture Correction
Customized programs address scoliosis, kyphosis, and computer posture syndrome through manual adjustments and corrective exercises. Our approach combines spinal mobilization with muscle retraining to alleviate pain from poor posture and prevent long-term musculoskeletal complications.
