We can improve your condition and speed healing times, but moreover, we take pride in teaching patients to better self manage their condition. This may involve the progression of a home exercise program, TENs machine, Bakballs, pillow prescription, self massage or roller.
We assist you to achieve your short and long term functional goals with guidance and advice. Our aim is to assess your stability, muscle recruitment, proprioception, balance, coordination, strength, power, flexibility and posture in a functional setting and with a biomechanical assessment.
