reHealth Advanced Services

Redefining treatment support

At reHealth, we combine hands-on care with advanced treatment technologies to support recovery, movement and long-term well-being.

These services are used across multiple disciplines within our clinics and may form part of a broader treatment plan tailored to your needs. Depending on your condition, goals and practitioner recommendations, advanced therapies may be used to support pain management, tissue healing, movement, rehabilitation and overall function.

Our focus is always on providing care that feels personalised, evidence-based and appropriate for your stage of recovery.

Supporting your recovery with advanced care

Shockwave therapy

Shockwave therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to support tissue repair and movement in areas affected by persistent pain or soft tissue dysfunction.

Radial shockwave treats broader, more superficial areas, while focused shockwave targets deeper, more specific tissues. Both may be used for tendon pain, plantar fasciitis, shoulder concerns and other musculoskeletal conditions.

It may be used as part of treatment for tendon-related pain, plantar fasciitis, shoulder concerns and other musculoskeletal conditions.

High-powered laser therapy

High-powered (or deep tissue) laser therapy uses focused light energy to support circulation, tissue healing and pain management.

Treatment is non-invasive and may be incorporated into broader rehabilitation and recovery programs (specifically in addressing acute and chronic conditions, and post-activity recovery).

Interferential therapy

Interferential therapy uses gentle electrical stimulation to support pain relief, circulation and muscle function. It’s non-invasive and is typically used to address musculoskeletal pain, muscle spasms and swelling.

It may be used alongside hands-on treatment and rehabilitation exercises.

Ultrasound therapy

Ultrasound therapy uses soundwave technology to support soft tissue treatment and rehabilitation. This is a non-invasive, passive technology that is believed to reduce pain, increase blood flow and speed up healing for soft tissue injuries. It has also been shown to be helpful for women experiencing mastitis.

It may be used as part of a broader care plan.

Real-time ultrasound imaging

Real-time ultrasound imaging allows practitioners to assess muscle activation and movement patterns during rehabilitation and exercise-based treatment.

It may be used to support movement awareness and targeted rehabilitation strategies where appropriate, and is also useful when addressing pelvic floor dysfunction before and after pregnancy.

Dry needling

Not to be confused with acupuncture, dry needling involves the insertion of fine needles into targeted muscular trigger points to address muscular tension and support movement. It’s used by many allied health professionals to address musculoskeletal pain and movement dysfunction. It aims to improve blood flow, encourage healing and stimulate the body’s natural pain-relieving abilities.

Cupping therapy

Cupping therapy uses suction-based techniques designed to support circulation, muscle relaxation and soft tissue mobility as part of hands-on treatment.

It creates negative pressure, which pulls the skin and underlying fascia upward to potentially increase blood flow, relax tight muscles and promote the body’s natural healing response.

Orthotic therapy

Orthotic therapy involves customised or supportive shoe inserts designed to help improve foot alignment, reduce strain and support movement and comfort.

They can generally be worn by anyone, from children with developmental concerns to elderly people with arthritis, and even athletes who’ve begun experiencing foot pain.

PACT fungal nail therapy

Photodynamic antimicrobial therapy (PACT) is a light-based treatment designed to support the management of fungal nail concerns in a non-invasive way. It uses a light-sensitive gel and a specific light wavelength to penetrate the nail plate and kill fungal cells, bacteria and viruses on the nail and nail bed.

VALD assessment technology

VALD is a clinical measurement tool that gives our practitioners objective data on your strength, movement and physical function. This takes the guesswork out of assessment, helps track your progress and supports more informed treatment decisions.

AxIT assessment system

AxIT measures strength, power and balance using force plates and handheld testing devices. It helps identify imbalances, set a baseline and track improvement over time, so your progress is visible and your program stays on track.

Products to Support Your Recovery

From braces and supportive footwear to supplements and rehabilitation aids, we offer a range of products designed to complement your treatment and support your recovery. Our team can help recommend and fit suitable products to improve comfort, movement and everyday function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these advanced therapies suitable for everyone?

Not every treatment is appropriate for every person or condition. Your practitioner will discuss whether a particular therapy may be suitable for your current needs and goals.

Do I need a referral for these therapies?

No, a referral is not typically required when undergoing one of our advanced treatment technologies. If you are attending as a Medicare, TAC, Workcover, or other funding patient, however, please note that a referral will be required.

Are these treatments used on their own?

Advanced therapies are often integrated with physiotherapy, osteopathy, chiropractic care, podiatry, myotherapy, rehabilitation and exercise-based treatment where appropriate.

Will treatment feel uncomfortable or be painful?

Some therapies may create some mild temporary discomfort, depending on the area being treated and the type of therapy being used. Your practitioner will explain what to expect before treatment commences and will adjust as needed.
