Your Consultation: 
Step by Step Initial Visit Your first session (up to 45 minutes) begins with a detailed discussion of your history and goals. We perform movement assessments and specific orthopaedic tests to pinpoint the source of your symptoms.
 
Treatment may include soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, cupping or dry needling to ease discomfort and improve mobility.
 
We’ll then prescribe a personalised home exercise program using our online app, so you can continue making progress between visits.
 
Follow‑Up Care Subsequent appointments (30–60 minutes) allow us to monitor your progress and modify your exercises as you get stronger or your symptoms change.
 
We also discuss activity modification, ergonomics and lifestyle factors to promote long‑term recovery and prevent recurrence.

Sports & Performance Focus
Running and Movement Analysis
 
If you’re a runner dealing with persistent niggles or wanting to improve technique, our two‑part running assessment offers comprehensive insight. The initial session evaluates your strength, range of motion and gait using VALD equipment and treadmill analysis; the follow‑up appointment delivers a detailed rehabilitation or prehabilitation plan and hands‑on treatment to address any weaknesses or imbalances.
 
We also offer return‑to‑sport testing using VALD ForceDecks and Dynamo to objectively measure strength, power and movement symmetry and ensure you’re ready to return to training or competition.
 
Athlete Tune‑Up
 
For athletes who want to stay at their best, the Athlete Tune‑Up provides an extended treatment session using deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial cupping, dry needling and joint mobilisation to target tight spots and prevent injuries.
 
Whether you’re preparing for a marathon or managing minor niggles from CrossFit or football, a tune‑up helps keep your body in peak condition.
