Sports and Lifestyle Injuries

We treat a range of sports injuries from running to surfing injuries.

Ros specialises in rider injuries and as she also treats horses she can provide a horse and rider postural alignment assessment.

Back and Neck Pain

The treatment of neck and back pain is one of our specialist areas. We can provide effective treatment for back pain with referred pain, nerve pain, whiplash injuries and tension headaches. The spine is a very complex functional structure of joint alignment, muscle balance and nerve health.

As physiotherapists with an in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology we are in an ideal position to assess and treat to achieve the most effective results.

Ros has over 30 years of experience with spinal manipulation. Stella is currently working at Treliske as part of the specialist spinal pain clinic.

Acupuncture, Ultrasound and Laser

Acupuncture is a proven method of pain relief for musculo-skeletal problems and is recognised to promote good health. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles at chosen points, which may be local to the painful area.

Additional recognised pain-relieving points may also be used. Ros and Stella use Acupuncture to complement their physiotherapy treatment plan. Ultrasound and laser are used to stimulate healing and gain pain relief for soft tissue injuries. Ultrasound therapy is ultrasonic waves applied to the body to help stimulateblood flow to the injured area. This process aids removal of inflammatory toxins, improves nutritional circulation in the area and assists healing.

Pilates and Rehabilitation

Pilates is a mind-body conditioning programme that targets the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine to improve overall core stability and posture. Pilates has been shown to be very important for the prevention and rehabilitation of back injuries. We offer one-one pilates training as part of our physiotherapy treatment programme as required. We are also experienced in rehabilitation after joint/muscle surgery, fractures and work-related pain.

Ros and Stella have qualified with the Australian Physiotherapy and Pilates Institute. Please go to our news section for times and locations of classes.
