ACUTE AND CHRONIC INJURIES

GROWING PAINS IN CHILDREN
Although children do tend to bounce back quickly from injury, it is important that you have your child checked up, particularly after a trauma, or during rapid growth spurts.
KNEE AND LEG PAIN
Knee pain can have a negative effect on both confidence and mobility. This is applicable for both young, athletic knees, as well as achy, arthritic knees.
ELBOW AND WRIST PAIN
FOOT AND ANKLE PAIN
Daily, we are capable of both huge amounts of strength, and fine, dextrous movement patterns with our hands. Biomechanically, this area is complex, and injury to your elbow or wrist have a follow-on effect on many activities of daily living.
Foot and ankle pain can be debilitating. When our ankles and feet are in pain, not only do we struggle to walk around day-to-day, but it can also have a huge flow-on effect to the rest of your body.
MYOTHERAPY AND MASSAGE THERAPIES
LYMPHOEDEMA CARE
Targeted treatment for musculoskeletal pain, injury and dysfunction. The term ‘massage therapy’ is used to describe a wide variety of techniques that vary in the manner in which touch, pressure and the intensity of the treatment is applied.
Best practice for the management of lymphoedema has a holistic multidisciplinary approach and is provided by qualified lymphoedema therapists. The treatment method is conservative and in Australasia is termed Complex Lymphoedema Therapy (CLT).
