techniques we use
Your first session starts with a detailed assessment to understand what's contributing to your pain and movement limitations. Once we've identified the issue, treatment begins straight away. Our focus is on reducing pain, restoring movement and supporting long-term recovery. Common techniques include:
-
![]()
Active Release Technique
Active Release Technique is a hands-on treatment that combines targeted pressure with movement to reduce muscle tension and improve mobility. It is commonly used to address restrictions in muscles, tendons, fascia and other soft tissues that may be contributing to pain.

Joint Manipulation
Joint manipulation uses a precise, controlled movement to improve joint mobility and reduce stiffness. It is often used when restricted joint motion is contributing to pain, helping restore more comfortable movement as part of a broader treatment approach.

Dry Needling
Dry needling targets tight muscles and trigger points using fine needles to help reduce tension and improve movement. It is commonly used to relieve muscular discomfort, improve flexibility and support recovery from injury or physical strain.

Many Carina locals choose our clinic for our practical approach, personalised care and focus on helping people achieve lasting improvements in their health and movement.

Movement Assessment - You'll move through a series of targeted tests that reveal where your body is restricted, compensating, or breaking down under load.
Personalised Plan - We build a clear, technique-specific treatment plan aimed at resolving the root cause and reducing the likelihood of the problem recurring.
Hands-On Treatment - Your session includes the appropriate mix of chiropractic care, physiotherapy, soft-tissue work, dry needling, and guided exercise to get you moving better as quickly as possible.
Chiropractor & Physiotherapy Carina FAQ
-
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring joint movement and reducing nerve irritation, while physiotherapy addresses the surrounding muscles, tendons, and movement patterns. When used together, they tackle both the structural restriction and the soft-tissue dysfunction driving your pain, which is why a combined approach tends to produce faster and more durable results than either discipline alone.
-
Many people feel a meaningful difference after their very first treatment, particularly in terms of reduced stiffness and improved range of motion. The degree of change depends on how long the issue has been present and how complex the underlying mechanics are, but our aim is always to have you leaving session one feeling better than when you walked in.
-
No referral is needed to book directly with our Carina team. You can call or book online and come straight in. If you're using a care plan through Medicare or a third-party insurer, we can help you work through those details when you arrive.
-
In most cases, yes - but your clinician will always review your history before applying any technique. Certain approaches like joint manipulation are modified or substituted with gentler methods when there's a history of surgery or structural sensitivity. Your safety and comfort guide every decision about which techniques are used.
-
This varies depending on how long the problem has been building and how your body responds to treatment. A recent, straightforward injury might resolve in three to five sessions, while a long-standing movement issue with multiple contributing factors may need more time. After your first assessment, your clinician will give you a realistic estimate based on your specific situation.
-
Wear comfortable clothing that allows your clinician to assess your movement freely - shorts and a loose top work well. If you have any relevant imaging like X-rays or MRI scans, bring those along. Arrive a few minutes early so you can complete your intake form without rushing into the session.
