What We Offer:
Physiotherapy:
We are a team of highly experienced Physiotherapists who are also qualified Manipulative Therapists. Our treatment is hands on. You will be carefully and fully assessed at your first visit (one hour appointment) to ensure a cohesive and appropriate unique program to address your issues. We look at the whole body, not just the area giving you pain. We treat a variety of spinal conditions including neck and back pain, but also injuries in other parts of the body, such as shoulders, knees as well as complex spine dysfunction. Diagnosis is the most important part of healthcare and we understand that pain and injury can be multi-dimensional. Our treatment can include manual therapy, movement correction, exercise, acupuncture and education on self-management of your condition.
Rehabilitation:
Prehab/Rehab is a vital part of physiotherapy. We can help with recovery from a wide range of conditions such as surgery, injury, chronic pain and help to improve your mobility and independence. Your specific goals may include running a marathon or walking to the kitchen from your bedroom.
Pain Management:
Chronic complex pain is our niche, we offer appropriate education, exercise and give you the tools to help manage your pain.
Injury Prevention/Management: Injury prevention is a complex topic. You will be educated in injury prevention by being taught correct movement patterns, lifting techniques and strengthening with exercise.
Acupuncture:
Acupuncture is used as an adjunct in controlling pain and muscle spasm. Kyle also offers acupuncture for hay-fever relief (allergic rhinitis). This appointment takes approximately 15-20 minutes at a cost of $40. Please talk to our receptionists if you would like further information.
