Services
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
ESWT uses high-energy acoustic impulses to target deep tissues, promoting healing and reducing pain. This non-invasive treatment accelerates recovery for chronic injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. It is integrated with other therapies for optimal results without additional fees.
Intramuscular Stimulation
IMS employs fine needles to relieve muscle tightness and nerve irritation causing chronic pain. Certified physiotherapists use this technique to treat conditions like tendonitis and back pain. Sessions often show improvement after the first visit, with full recovery requiring multiple sessions.
Sports Injury Rehabilitation
Specialized care for athletes addresses injuries like ligament tears, fractures, and overuse conditions. Treatment combines manual therapy, exercise programs, and IMS to restore function. The team includes former Olympians and sports specialists with firsthand injury recovery expertise.
TMJ/TMD Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy for temporomandibular joint disorders includes soft tissue release, joint mobilization, and posture correction. Treatment alleviates pain, clicking, and limited jaw movement. Personalized plans may involve coordination with dentists for comprehensive care.
Back Pain Treatment
Comprehensive back pain management uses manual therapy, spinal manipulation, and IMS to address conditions like disc herniation and sciatica. Education on posture and core strengthening prevents recurrence. Advanced techniques like traction and electrical modalities enhance recovery.
