It was a deliberate choice, to have experienced physiotherapists and chiropractors working under one roof. While similar, there are differences in philosophies and approaches, and each complements the other.
Manual therapy is a practical art with an underpinning of anatomy, biomechanics and pathophysiology. From time immemorial, skilful therapists have used his/her senses and hands to investigate (feeling for temperature, tension, bind, symptoms, etc) and intervene at the tissue and the organism level.
Optimal clinical care is a combination of research insight, expert judgment, patient preference, and shared decision-making. We are proud to offer:
Clinical experience – It takes experience to judge what is relevant and what is noise, and how to prioritise and manage co-morbidities. You feel the experience and competence in the hands of a skilled therapist – they inspire trust and confidence which are essential for resolution of symptoms;
Comprehensive examination – We gather a comprehensive picture of the patient’s health status, which is essential in making an accurate diagnosis, which is critical in order to provide the most appropriate treatment (and in logical order). An experienced clinician is able to adapt to the patient’s changing needs as the condition resolves;
Diverse skills and techniques – Even if the underlying medical diagnosis is the same, each person experiences pain and discomfort differently. We take the time to know you and tailor our approach to each individual, to relax and comfort the tissue at hand, ease the bind, and coax to produce desired movement and relief, and
Emphasis on self-care – While manual therapy is powerful, it is our mission to give the power of care back to individual. We give personalised exercises and stretches (videos) to patients to help themselves move well and stay well.
Benefits of manual therapy
It is the clinician’s experience, specificity, finesse, and judicious application of techniques that determine the likely success. Some benefits of manual therapy include:
Pain relief – Manual therapy can help to reduce pain in the back, neck, and other areas of the body by improving joint function and reducing muscle tension;
Improved range of motion – By relieving discomfort and facilitating normal motion to the joints and tissues, manual therapy can help to improve range of motion and flexibility, and
Better sleep – If pain and stiffness are stopping you from resting, by reducing level of pain and muscle tension, you can get a better night of sleep, which will aid recovery.
