Treatment modalities

Your care is tailored to how you present. Depending on your condition, goals, and how you respond, your plan may include one, two, or several of the approaches below, and the mix can change at different points along your care. Each approach is explained and discussed with you first, and only applied with your consent.

  • Also called an adjustment. A precise, gentle thrust applied to a joint in the spine or in the limbs, such as the shoulder, hip, or ankle, to restore movement, ease stiffness, and reduce pain.

    My adjusting style is a fusion of diversified, drop piece, and flexion-distraction methods, so your care can be matched to your body, your condition, and your comfort.

  • A gentle, non-thrusting technique on our specialised table that rhythmically stretches the spine to ease pressure on discs and nerves.

  • Slow, gentle, rhythmic movements applied to a joint within its comfortable range to ease stiffness, reduce pain, and improve mobility. A good option when you prefer a technique without a quick thrust.

  • Fine, sterile needles are placed into tight muscle knots (trigger points) to release tension, reduce pain, and improve movement.

  • Hands-on soft tissue work, including trigger point (TrP) therapy and deep tissue massage, to ease tight muscles and fascia, relieve pain, and restore flexibility.

  • A progressive program of targeted exercises to rebuild strength, mobility, and control after injury, and to help your results last.

  • Flexible kinesiology tape supports muscles and joints while you move. Rigid strapping gives firmer support to protect an injured area and limit painful motion.
