pain treatment
Depending on what's behind your concern, your care may involve physiotherapy, myotherapy, chiropractic care, osteopathy, exercise physiology, other treatments, or a combination of multiple.
We look at the full picture rather than just the area that hurts. Your practitioner will assess what’s going on and work with you on a plan that suits your body, your life and your goals.
Physiotherapy
Manual therapy for movement and function, using joint mobilisation and soft tissue release that may help ease discomfort through the shoulder, arm and hand.
Osteopathy
Whole body care, such as shockwave therapy and dry needling, may help ease persistent pain and discomfort.
Chiropractic
Focused on joint alignment, chiropractic care uses precise adjustments and soft tissue massage that may ease tension and relieve pain.
Exercise physiology
Structured movement and recovery support, using tailored exercise programs and progression planning to help support strength and function.
Myotherapy
Muscle-focused care using myofascial release and guided stretching designed to ease tension and support the function of your arms, shoulders and hands.
