    Personal Approach

    Your Physiotherapy session will begin with a thorough assessment of the problem. Treatments such as joint
    mobilisation, massage, dry needling and specific exercise programs are used with the aim of quickly restoring
    normal movement and function to the areas of the body affected.

    The combined health benefits of regular Physiotherapy treatment and a 12 week Clinical Pilates program are
    encouraged at Vitality. Visit Vitality Clinical Pilates to find out more.

    The clinic also offers physical screenings for sports including golf and running, as well as postural
    programs including education on lifting and sitting techniques.
