We allow 45 minutes to 1 hour for your first visit as we take a thorough case history (if you have any current x-rays or scans please bring them with you) and perform a physical examination to establish the nature of your complaint and the history of your problem. Subsequent treatments are 30mins long.

All treatments are one on one and predominately use hands on techniques to treat your complaint. We can use a wide variety of techniques such as:

• Soft tissue (Massage) and Stretching - Gentle to firm hands on massage aimed at releasing muscle tension
• Muscle Energy Techniques - Involves gentle muscle contraction & practitioner applied stretches to increase joint mobility & muscle length
• Articulation - Small rhythmic joint movements to increase joint range of movement
• Counterstrain techniques - Joints & muscles are held in a position of ease to reduce muscular pain
• Joint Manipulation - A direct & specific movement applied to a joint with minimum force that often produces a 'click'. This technique aims to instantly improve joint range of movement and ease muscular tension

You will also be given stretches and exercises to perform to help you manage your problem at home.

If required, we can refer for further investigations such as x-rays and MRI. .
