Pre and Post-Operative Physiotherapy

Combining both Pre and Post-Operative Physiotherapy can be the best decision you make around your surgery.

You’ll get a head start on recovery thanks to our comprehensive approach, as well as increased range of motion through our targeted exercises that will help prevent injuries in post surgery patients too.

Scars from trauma or surgery can continue to cause pain, disfigurement, and movement dysfunction years after the incident.

We often treat clients who come in with one issue for example back pain, but through a thorough examination we find the root cause to be a scar that has become embedded, restricted and causing tissues to bind down. And this scar could be from a c section or appeindix etc.

If you have had any cancer surgery, laparotomies, caesarean sections, joint surgery and the list goes on – then we strongly recommend you coming in to see our scar expert.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle treatment where light touch is used to help improve movement within the cranio-sacral system. The name is taken from the bones that make up this system – the cranium (the skull and face) and the sacrum (the bone at the lower end of the spinal column). This system has an affect on many body functions, and treatment on it can stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself.
