Tendinopathy and tendon injuries
Tendinopathy most commonly occurs near joints, such as the shoulder, elbow, knee or ankle. With a structured care plan, and access to a range of different equipment, tendon injuries respond well to physiotherapy.
Hip & Knee pain
Hip and knee pain can make doing everyday tasks quite challenging and left unchecked may cause hesitation in movement. With a tailored treatment plan, we will support you in your journey to feeling confident engaging in things you may have been avoiding.
Overuse injuries
Overuse injuries can affect all parts of the body, and typically occur when a muscle, tendon or joint is overworked. We’ll work closely with you to understand the cause and implement the best therapeutic treatments, ensuring you get back to doing the things you love.
Our Approach
We take great pride in being able to support you to reach your goals, which is why we collaborate with you every step of the way to ensure you feel comfortable and confident throughout your treatment. Our approach involves the following steps:
We start with a detailed evaluation to understand your current condition and medical history. This involves having a consultation as well as an assessment, which is essential in identifying effective treatment strategies.
Following your assessment, one of our trained physiotherapists will clearly explain your diagnosis. They will work with you to help you understand your condition, how to best manage it going forward and how to prevent recurrence, keeping you at your best.
We present you with various treatment options based on your goals and preferences, collaborating with you to choose the best approach that ensures your needs are met with comfort and trust.
When appropriate, and based on your individualised plan, we use manual therapy techniques, including Physiotherapy Massage, Soft Tissue Mobilization, Myofascial Release, Dry Needling, and Joint Mobilization.
