OUR SERVICES
Physiotherapy is a scientific, holistic approach to assessing and treating pain, injuries, stiffness and imbalances of different tissues in the body. A physiotherapist is highly skilled and trained to choose from numerous treatment modalities to facilitate recovery. We adopt a clinically reasoned, hands-on treatment approach, which includes a thorough evaluation, diagnosis and treatment plan, enabling our patients to get relief and get back to full function as soon as possible. Our aim is to improve your quality of life.
