Stretching

​Acute Pain Management

Chronic Pain Management

​Take Home Care

Stretching out your body seems like a simple task, but if you find yourself not being able to loosen your body after a long day or a gym session, physiotherapy sessions can help increase your stretching abilities and relax your body. 

Physiotherapy is effective for acute pain relief in conditions such as neck and back pain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, muscle and ligament sprains and strains and other conditions. Research shows that getting pain relief in the early states of an injury helps speed up recovery.   Kristy and Elliot will also guide the rehabilitation of your injury and show you techniques to help you prevent reinjury.

Chronic pain is pain that has been present for a long time.  When your pain persists, our clinicians take the holistic approach to your pain management and may recommend a series of treatments or a tailor made pain management course including tips on how to manage pain and your expectations. 

Clients can purchase physio approved extras from Hunter Allied Care, such as Fisiocrem, heat & cold packs, exercise balls, foam rollers, and more. Kristy and Elliot guide each clients at home treatment with ease and care.
