Shoulder/Upper Limb Injuries
Your hands, wrists, elbows and shoulders connect you to all the tasks you need to do. Our aim is to restore function so that you can function effectively again.
Sport Injuries
Sport forms an essential part of the Australian lifestyle. Injuries can occur and we know how important it is to optimize recovery and regain function.
Work Related Injuries
Work injuries need immediate, informative and restorative treatment. We aim to help you return to work and maximize your outcome from injury.
Ankle/Foot Problems
Our grounding comes through the ankles and feet. We often take it for granted as we regularly use them but it’s important for balance, agility and motion.
Musculoskeletal Problems
This system allows the motion that we all enjoy. Pain inhibits movement. We can help reduce pain so that you can enjoy all forms of movement.
Orthopaedic Injuries
Broken bones or injured joints, ligaments or tendons require experienced management to give you the best pathway to optimize your recovery.
