Massage

Massage therapy is used to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote relaxation. It can be especially beneficial in the early stages of injury recovery or to relieve chronic muscle tightness caused by overuse, stress, or poor posture. Massage also helps prepare tissues for more active forms of rehabilitation.

Targeted Strength Programs

Targeted strengthening programs are designed to address identified muscular weaknesses or imbalances. These tailored exercises help restore strength in underactive or injured muscles, reduce the risk of re-injury, and support long-term recovery by improving function and stability.

Joint Mobilisation

Joint mobilisation or manipulation are hands-on techniques aimed at improving joint function, reducing stiffness, and relieving pain. Mobilisation involves gentle, controlled movements, while manipulation may involve a quicker thrust to restore normal joint motion. These techniques are commonly used for spinal or peripheral joint issues to enhance movement and reduce discomfort.

Core Strengthening

Core stability is essential for posture, balance, and overall movement control. These programs focus on activating and strengthening the deep abdominal and pelvic muscles to improve spinal support and reduce strain on the body. Core work is particularly valuable for those recovering from lower back pain or returning to sport.

Taping

Taping techniques provide temporary support to muscles or joints, reduce pain, and guide correct movement patterns during rehabilitation. Taping may be used to offload irritated tissues, manage swelling, or encourage optimal alignment until strength and control are restored.

Dry Needling

Dry needling involves the insertion of fine, sterile needles into trigger points or tight muscle bands to relieve pain and restore function. It is often used to treat muscle tension, myofascial pain, or movement dysfunctions and is an effective tool for managing both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Proprioceptive Training

These exercises are designed to retrain the body’s sense of position and movement, which is often impaired after injury. They are especially useful following ankle sprains, knee injuries, or in individuals with reduced stability. Improving proprioception enhances coordination, reduces fall risk, and supports safe return to activity.
