Do you have a specific injury or chronic musculoskeletal pain? Or are you an avid/ professional 'mover' who would like to improve performance and build resilience? Then we recommend you initially book for a Myotherapy appointment.
If you have complex, multi-system concerns we recommend booking an Introductory MLD session which can be adapted to include other treatment options as required.
Naturopathy 'add-on' is available for management of pain and inflammation and other chronic conditions such as migraine, constipation, chronic sinusitis, fibromyalgia and post-viral syndrome.
Bodywork Services
Myotherapy
Specialised body work incorporating remedial and sports massage. If you like a firmer massage this is a great option, but if you prefer lighter pressure the treatment can be totally adapted to your needs- just let your practitioner know. Sessions can include dry needling, cupping, kinesio-taping and exercise prescription/movement coaching if required. With a focus on correcting the underlying issues and reducing triggers this is excellent for acute or chronic pain issues, recovering from injury and improving physical performance, pre/post surgery. 2-3 sessions are recommended. HICAPS available. Learn more...
