techniques we use
No two injuries are exactly alike, so we don't assume everyone needs the same treatment. Your practitioner will discuss your symptoms, assess the relevant joints and muscles, and check how you move. We'll then recommend suitable techniques and explain how they fit into your recovery plan.

Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique (ART) combines targeted movements with hands-on pressure to release restrictions in muscles and soft tissues. It's often used to ease muscle tightness and repetitive strain, helping improve flexibility and reduce everyday discomfort.

Joint Manipulation
Joint manipulation uses a quick, controlled movement to improve mobility in stiff or restricted joints, sometimes producing a clicking sound. Where appropriate, we combine it with targeted muscle treatment and exercises to address other contributing factors.

Dry Needling
Dry needling uses fine needles to target muscle trigger points, helping reduce tightness and sensitivity. A brief muscle twitch may occur during treatment. While similar in appearance to acupuncture, the technique focuses on muscular discomfort and soft-tissue restrictions.

Exercise Therapy
Building strength and improving movement are key parts of recovery. We prescribe exercises suited to your ability and gradually adjust them as you progress, helping you manage daily activities and return to exercise with better control and confidence.
About Our Paddington Team
Pain affects everyone differently. For some, it limits exercise. For others, it's stiffness after a long workday or discomfort that makes everyday tasks harder.
Our physiotherapists and chiropractors help Paddington patients with muscle, joint and movement concerns. We start with a thorough assessment to understand the problem before recommending treatment.
We understand recovery isn't always straightforward. Symptoms and goals can change as you improve, so we review your progress and adjust your care when needed.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include hands-on care, dry needling, or rehabilitation exercises. We'll also provide clear advice to support your recovery outside the clinic.
We want you to understand your symptoms and feel confident managing your recovery long term.
