Your condition will be thoroughly assessed, then appropriate treatment and rehab modalities will be employed to relieve pain and inflammation, correct muscle balance and restore function to the tissues. Treatment modalities may include a combination of the following; manual therapy, manipulation, massage, strapping/taping, remedial exercises, postural correction, gait re-education. You will also be offered advice on orthotics/footwear and ergonomics or lifestyle modifications as necessary to avoid reoccurrence of the problem.

Core muscle strengthening is an essential component of the rehabilitation process whether you are a competitive athlete or just need to be able to walk the dog. Modified Pilates exercises are often used as part of the treatment to achieve this.

Acupuncture may also form part of your treatment. I have completed training with the AACP and have been practicing acupuncture for pain relief for many years. I use a combination of traditional acupuncture points and more western techniques of trigger point acupuncture to reduce pain and muscle spasm and improve circulation and healing.
