Our team treats a large amount of children for various conditions. Babies and children are most commonly treated for chest infections and developmental delay. We are well equipped to see children of all ages and have therapists with a real love for working with children. Dry Needling is a common interest shared by most of our therapists and a very fast and effective treatment option. We insert a thin, sterile needle into a muscle spasm or knot. This triggers biochemical changes in the tissue which eases pain, releases tight tissue and stimulates various normal body processes to promote healing. When performed by a qualified therapist this is a safe and effective treatment technique. We realise how important your hands are, and we strive to help you gain normal function in your hand after injury or surgery. We aim to restore movement in stiff joints, control swelling, reduce pain, strengthen, improving function, and reduce scar tissue. Physiotherapy treatment following injury or surgery is very important as one’s hands could become stiff very quickly if not treated.
