Physio consults

You can expect the same professional practitioner for the duration of your treatment, providing caring, hands-on treatment. After your first treatment you will have an understanding of your condition and you will be given a management plan that you can continue at home to expedite your recovery.

Acupuncture

David successfully uses acupuncture for pain management and muscle relaxation. He has found headaches and lower back pain, and conditions such as Achilles tendonitis and tennis elbow, respond very well to acupuncture. Many of his patients are willing to try acupuncture with David as he follows a no-pain approach.

Clinical Pilates

David has over 10 years of experience integrating Pilates into his management of patients, particularly patients in pain as a result of postural or spinal issues. David’s clients, from age 10 to 90, appreciate his informative and enjoyable classes.

Exercise prescription

For those who have injured themselves during sport, appropriate physiotherapy management followed by a tailored exercise regime will get you back to activity safely and swiftly.

For many of us, sitting at a desk for long periods of time has created health and musculoskeletal problems. Exercise with strength, cardio and flexibility components helps us to feel vital and youthful, and helps us to enjoy life to the full.

In both cases, David can prepare a personalised program to use at home or at your gym in parallel with your treatment.

Therapeutic Massage

David has extended his understanding of treatment options through extensive massage study over the past 25 years, including therapeutic, Tui Na (Chinese manipulative massage) and traditional Thai massage. David uses massage techniques he has learnt in a hands-on approach to his treatment of patients.

Correctly applied, therapeutic massage by a qualified physiotherapist can be used as a form of long-term maintenance of flexibility and movement, thereby preventing the onset of pain and dysfunction.

Rehabilitation Programs

Whether you are young or old, actively pursuing sport, recovering from surgery, wanting to improve performance or reduce pain, a rehabilitation program involving strength and flexibility could help you to manage the remainder of your recovery. David can write you a personalised program aimed at improving and/or maintaining your recovery.

Postural Education

Gravity affects us 24 hours a day and can result in dysfunction and pain. Understanding the effects of the way you stand, sit, lie and move can help you reduce pain in the short term and maintain mobility and flexibility for years to come.

Improved posture in the workplace, at home or at school goes a long way toward avoiding future problems. David applies a common-sense approach to educating you so you can help yourself.
