treatment Methods

Manipulation of joints; quick, small movements which can be useful in releasing stiff joints and inducing relaxation in muscle.

Soft tissue manipulation and massage; releasing tension in skin and muscle or helping to release tightness in ligaments.

Joint mobilisation and stretching; gentle or firm movements to isolated joints, designed to induce relaxation and pain relief or stretch them.

Electrotherapy; using for example high frequency sound waves to stimulate repair of injured soft tissues such as ankle sprains.

Core stability exercises; to regain the muscle activity which gives support to the trunk when we move any body part. This is often lost after injury.

General cardio-vascular and strength training advice.

Rehabilitation; which is specifically designed to regain or develop the particular functional goals your condition is holding back, for example climbing a ladder or throwing a javelin.

Advice, postural correction, suggestions on adaptations, where your body is not capable or designed to fit into its surroundings, for example doing DIY when you have a deformed joint.
