ART
Active Release Techniques (ART®) is the GOLD Standard of Soft Tissue Treatment. ART is a patented, state of the art soft tissue system/movement based massage technique that treats problems with muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia and nerves. It is a procedure that many top competitors utilise, including Ironman® champions, and other professional athletes.
I.A.S.T.M
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a new range of tool which enables clinicians to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction. IASTM is performed with ergonomically designed instruments that detect and treat fascial restrictions, soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, or degeneration
Kinesiotaping
Kinesiotaping is a specialised taping method for therapeutic and rehabilitative treatment that helps reduce pain, improve performance, prevent injury and promote lymphatic flow. The taping can be used on its own, but we often use it in combination with other methods for treating
The 5 benefits to using Kinesiotape are:
- Helps in the reduction of pain Enhances muscle activation
- Improves circulation and lymphatic flow which is essential for reducing inflammation and swelling
- Protection during the healing process
- Prevention of further injury and improved performance
Dry Needling
Dry Needling, unlike traditional acupuncture which typically uses points along meridians, dry needling targets anatomical structures including muscles, ligaments and joint capsules that are the underlying cause of muscle and joint related conditions.
- Decrease Pain
- Decrease Muscle Tension
- Speed Up Healing
- Improve Function
Functional Rehabilitation
Functional Rehabilitation involves improving strength, conditioning and coordination of an area of dysfunction. With highly specialised rehabilitation, an athlete can recover and return to full function faster and perform better.
Chiropractic
Focuses on improving the function of your spine and pelvis, helping your nervous system and muscular system to function at its best.
Applied Kinesiology
Applied Kinesiology (Proprioceptive Muscle Testing) examines the patient’s nervous system and identifies any and all weaknesses which make you vulnerable to injury. This diagnostic technique system based on anatomy, neurology and physiology uncovers the best solution for that patient at that time to correct any dysfunction within the neuromuscular system
