MANUAL THERAPY

Experienced hands can sense subtle joint motion deficits, muscle tension and trigger points, and connective tissue tightness. They can assess tissue integrity and skeletal alignment. Best of all experienced hands know where and how hard to push to restore joint suppleness and relieve muscular tension without creating excessive pain or post-treatment tenderness. For precise therapy, hands beat machines, hands down!

DRY NEEDLING

Dry Needling uses acupuncture needles to treat trigger points in your muscles which can be potent sources of local and referred pain. It can be applied very gently or more aggressively, both with great effect. Rachel selects anatomical points proven to stimulate your neurological, vascular, and muscle systems in order to encourage tissue healing.

BABY, TODDLER & CHILD PHYSIO

Children can come with their own unique musculo-skeletal issues. As a former Early Intervention physio Rachel can help! Uneven head-shape, neck tightness, hip dysplasia, and turned-in feet can all be addressed with physio advice or treatment. As they progress towards the toddler years developmental concerns and delays might emerge. Kids heal quickly, but some childhood injuries do need treatment.  If you child still complains of pain a week after an injury it is worth an assessment. A few well-timed interventions can prevent a life-time of trouble.
