Alternative Therapy Treatments
IASTM (Graston)
IASTM stands for Instument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation, and may also be called Graston. The purpose behind IASTM is multi-factorial. The techniques are designed to produce a healing response from the body to the affected area.
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a technique used to help treat pain and movement impairments. The needle is inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle. Dry needling is used with the goal of releasing or inactivating trigger points to relieve pain or improve range of motion. Dry needling improves pain control, reduces muscle tension, and can help to normalises dysfunctions of the muscles. This can help speed up the patient's return to active rehabilitation.

Sports Massage
Sports massage can be useful in so many ways; from quicken recovery after training, to improving posture and flexibility, de-stressing after a hard week, and even as a crucial part in the rehabilitation of an injury or after surgery.
The treatment uses manipulation of the soft tissues of the body (your muscles, tendons and ligaments) to address problems and imbalances caused by physical activity, poor posture, or even injury. Your therapist will use a wide variety of massage, stretching and targeted soft tissue release techniques to effectively release tension and restore balance in your musculoskeletal system.

Other Treatments
Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be used following a medical diagnosis. It involves stimulating sensory nerves under the skin and in the muscles of the body. This results in the body producing natural substances, such as pain-relieving endorphins. It's likely that these naturally released substances are responsible for the beneficial effects experienced with acupuncture.
K-Tape/ Rock Tape
When kinesiology tape is applied correctly, many patients feel that their injury is instantly fixed. It decompresses swelling and inflammation, by creating a lifting effect of the skin between the layers, helping to reduce and remove inflammation.
RockTape helps bring lazy muscles back to life and help calm down the overactive ones. It helps your body coordinate movement as if it weren’t hurt, hence allowing it to heal properly.
