Massage

We use deep soft tissue mobilization in various ways to alter the muscle’s function and treat pathology. Some of the soft tissue techniques we use.

OMT (Orthopeadic Manipulative Therapy)

These are passive movements mainly targeted at treating joints.

  • Joint Mobilisation Techniques
  • Maitland’s Mobilizations
  • McKenzi Mobilizations
  • Mulligan Mobilizations

Ultrasound

High frequency sound waves that acts on a cellular level to heal tissue.

Laser

There are over 4000 studies proving the effectiveness of lasers used for tissue repair, especially soft tissue with high collagen content.

Acupuncture

The technique requires the insertion of fine stainless steel needles through the skin to the underlying deep structures such as muscles, fascia, ligament. Acupuncture needles stimulate nerve endings and alter the way your brain functions, it also activates an immune response localized to the insertion point which accelerates the healing of the tissue.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy treatment is the use of an electric current to provide therapeutic effects on the body’s tissues.

  • TENS
  • EMS (Electrical muscle stimulation)
  • Interferential
