Treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments involve the insertion of fine, sterile, single-use needles into specific places in the body in order to reduce pain and inflammation, relax muscles and to assist the nervous and hormonal systems to return to their optimal state. We primarily utilise 3 systems of acupuncture in this clinic which include; the Sports Medicine Acupuncture protocols developed by Matt Callison of San Diego, California; Traditional Chinese Acupuncture; and techniques derived from Taiwan that have been taught through the Master Tung and Doctor Richard Tan lineages.
This ultimately provides flexibility, allowing greater personalisation of your treatment and faster results.
Combination - Acupuncture and Remedial Massage
This combination involves an Acupuncture treatment followed by 30 minutes of soft tissue techniques which will include Remedial Massage, Stretching and Myofascial Release and Muscle Energy Techniques as well as the traditional Chinese techniques of Gua Sha and Cupping therapy if indicated. Appointments are one hour long and will include postural assessment, muscle testing and joint assessment as required. Patient education in regards to posture, self maintenance and exercise technique are usually included through the sequence of care. These treatments are ideal for musculoskeletal issues, pain and where stress and postural imbalance are contributing factors to your condition.
