Manual Therapy
Manual Physiotherapy is the management of orthopaedic conditions using manual, hands-on therapeutic approaches. These include passive movement of joints and carefully controlled manually guided high velocity low amplitude thrust techniques (manipulation).
Dry Needling
Dry Needling is a very successful medical treatment which uses very thin needles, without any medication (a dry needle) to achieve its aim. Dry Needling is used to treat pain and dysfunction caused by muscle problems, sinus trouble, headaches, and some nerve problems.
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy plays an important role in rehabilitation post-surgery to help reduce pain, swelling, and stiffness.
I am fully trained in post-surgery rehabilitation, which is important to avoid developing compensatory movements such as a limp following surgery of the leg.
Manual Lymph Drainage {MLD}
Manual Lymph Drainage aims to redirect fluid from swollen areas to healthy lymphatic vessels, transporting it back to the normal circulatory system. The treatment is very gentle and a typical session will involve drainage of the neck, trunk, and the affected extremity (in that order).
