RECOVER · PAIN & INJURY
Pain that keeps coming back usually has a reason.
Physiotherapy, Myotherapy and Exercise Physiology for neck, back, shoulder and sports injuries. We treat where it hurts, then find and retrain what's driving it.
What we treat
Whether it started last week or has been hanging around for years.
Neck pain & stiffness
Including tension headaches that start in the neck.
Back pain & Sciatica
Acute flare-ups and long term back problems.
Shoulder pain
Rotator cuff, impingement and frozen shoulder.
Hip, knee & ankle
Joint pain, sprains and overuse injuries.
Sports Injuries
From weekend sport to high performance.
Before & after Surgery
Getting ready and getting back to full function.
Arthritis & joint pain
Staying strong and moving with less pain.
Work Injuries
Workers compensation and CTP claims welcome.
WHY IT KEEPS COMING BACK
Tissue heals. The pattern often doesn't.
After an injury, your brain changes how it senses and controls that part of your body to protect it. That's useful at first, but if your balance, your neck and your body awareness aren't retrained, the protection can stick around, and the same area keeps getting overloaded.
So we do both. We treat the pain and the tissue with proven physiotherapy and hands-on care. Then we check the systems underneath with an Ikigai Shift Assessment, and retrain them so you're not back here in six months.
WHO YOU'LL SEE
Three disciplines, one plan.
Physiotherapy
Assessment and diagnosis, manual therapy and exercise rehab, from AHPRA registered physiotherapists.
Myotherapy
With Andrew Curry, our founder. Hands on treatment including deep tissue work, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, dry needling and acu-needling. Every touch is sensory input and it's often the fastest way to calm a sore, guarded area.
Exercise physiology
Exercise based rehab to rebuild strength, capacity and confidence, and to get you back to what you love.
Plus clinical Pilates, to bridge the gap between rehab and everyday training.
NEEDLING
Dry needling and Acu-needling
Dry needling
Fine needles into tight, sensitive points in muscle, to help release tension and settle pain.
Acu-needling
Fine needles at points chosen for their links to the nervous system, aiming to calm a sensitised, guarded system rather than just the muscle.
Both are delivered by Andrew Curry as part of your treatment plan, and only when they suit you.
How we get you back
Recovery doesn't stop when the pain does. It never ends. It only begins.
1
Assess
Your history, a physical assessment and an Ikigai Shift Assessment of your balance and the systems behind it.
2
Treat
Settle the pain and restore movement with hands on care and targeted exercise.
3
Retrain
Strength, clinical Pilates, and balance and body awareness training, so the pattern changes too.
4
Stay well
Keep going with classes or a Limitless membership, re-screened as you go.
WHAT WE MEASURE
You'll see the numbers, not just feel the difference.
Objective testing shows where you're starting from and proves when you've improved.
Neck and stength control
Neckcare assessment
Strength & asymmetry
Force plate testing
Balance & body awareness
Ikigai Shift Assessment
Reaction & movement
Reaction and return to sport testing.
