ABOUT US

We see a broad range of clients who want to overcome physical discomfort, and we can help you return to pain-free, fluid movement. Many people come to us after exhausting other options and hearing about us from satisfied clients.

Some people come to us with chronic pain, often the result of the realities of modern day life and the effects they have on posture and movement. For those who have incurred injuries to the back, or upper or lower limbs, whether through sport or accident, we work both pre- and post-surgery. And we also work with postnatal women to get you exercising again, to overcome lower back and pelvic girdle pain, or to help you lose your ‘pregnancy bulge’.

For budding sportspeople, and elite athletes, our running clinic will assist you to get in peak condition, whatever the sport. From recreational runners to elite sprinters, or if your game is hockey, netball or taekwondo, we work with you to limit the incidence of injuries and boost your sporting performance.
