Struggling with a stubborn injury that just won’t heal? 🤕

Shockwave Therapy (SWT) could be the breakthrough you need. This non-invasive treatment uses targeted energy pulses to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and improve tissue health, especially for chronic or slow-to-heal conditions.

What to expect:
✔️ 2–5 minute treatment sessions
✔️ Mild discomfort during treatment
✔️ Less pain and better mobility after

📆 A typical course includes 5–8 sessions, combined with movement-based rehab to strengthen healing tissue. Think SWT might help you?

The body changes as we age.
-
We all have more wrinkles compared to when we were twenty, but they don’t hurt... at least physically.
-
The same goes for changes in our spine!
-
Things like disc degeneration, bulging, or narrowing (etc).
-
These things are just like wrinkles.
-
They’re expected, normal, & don’t necessarily hurt (although they’re usually blamed).
-
Swipe to see how common age related changes are by age category & spinal condition.
-
Keep in mind - these patients had no pain.
-
Zero.
-
You are more than your image... & by a long shot.
-
If you’ve been suffering from pain & a medical image has left you feeling more fragile & disabled - it might be time to start fresh with a new approach to rehabilitation.
-
Do any of these numbers surprise you?

Curious about Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS)? 🤔

Also known as trigger point dry needling, IMS uses a fine needle to target tight or painful muscles, helping reduce pain and improve mobility, often with immediate results.

It’s safe, effective, and especially helpful for stubborn, chronic pain when used alongside your physio treatment plan.

What to expect:

✔️ A brief ache or muscle twitch
✔️ Relief that can be felt right away
✔️ Minimal downtime

Not sure if IMS is right for you? Let's talk.

NECK PAIN: MORE THAN JUST A NUISANCE.
-
Neck pain isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s draining, frustrating, & can make even simple daily tasks feel impossible.
-
We see it all the time in the clinic.
-
Patients have often tried stretches, gadgets, & quick fixes that provide short-term relief… but the pain keeps coming back.
-
So what gives? Why does it linger even after all that effort?
-
One possible answer: the neck doesn’t just need stretching — it needs strengthening & reconditioning.
-
A study compared chronic neck pain patients doing general exercise versus those sticking with “usual care.”
-
The results?
-
👉 Exercise made a clear difference.
-
Swipe to see the details, and let us know in the comments — do you think neck pain is more about mobility, or strength?
