It all starts with assessing your pain
Our therapists utilise a range of the latest technologies and techniques to accurately assess your condition before any treatment. Depending on the pain you’re experiencing, we may use a combination of:
“Growing up Dad would tell us stories of how he almost made it to the Olympics for Boxing but hurt his back a few days before selections. As a kid I remember thinking how sad it was that a bit of pain got in the way of Dad achieving a life goal. Now it is my goal to help people move pain free and not let pain get in the way”

Next, we create a personalised treatment
Our goal is to find the cause of the pain so that we achieve long term pain relief. Not just Chiropractic manipulations, we combine several types of therapies based on what we find with your initial assessment.
“This is not a simple approach, there is more to getting you pain free than manipulating the joint and hoping for the best.”
