Approved Modalities
- Joint MobilisationJoint Mobilisation is a manual therapy technique used to restore optimal joint function, alleviate pain, and improve mobility. Performed by trained healthcare professionals, it involves skilled, controlled movements of the joint surfaces through gentle oscillations, stretches, and manipulations. These techniques promote synovial fluid circulation, reduce stiffness, and support proper alignment, helping to relieve discomfort and enhance overall joint health.
- Muscle Energy TechniqueMuscle Energy Technique involves active participation by the patient to voluntarily contract specific muscles against a counterforce applied by the therapist. This controlled contraction, typically held for a few seconds, is followed by relaxation and stretching of the targeted muscle or joint. MET is used to correct joint dysfunction and improve alignment, lengthen shortened or tight muscles, reduce pain and muscle spasm, and improve circulation and neuromuscular control.
- Visceral Manipulation (excl spinal)Visceral Manipulation is a gentle hands-on therapy that focuses on the internal organs, their surrounding tissues, and their relationship to overall health. Practitioners use gentle manual techniques to assess and treat restrictions or imbalances in the visceral system, including organs, blood vessels, and nerves. By applying precise and subtle movements, Visceral Manipulation aims to improve organ function, enhance mobility, release tension, and restore the body's natural balance. It considers the interconnectedness of the body's systems and recognizes the influence of the viscera on various aspects of health, such as digestion, circulation, and nervous system function. The therapy seeks to optimize the body's self-healing capacity and promote overall well-being.
- BreathworkBreathwork is a therapeutic practice that focuses on conscious control and manipulation of one's breathing patterns to achieve physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. It involves various techniques, such as deep diaphragmatic breathing, rhythmic patterns, and breath awareness. By altering the way one breathes, breathwork can help reduce stress, improve relaxation, and enhance self-awareness. It is used for purposes like managing anxiety, releasing emotional blockages, and promoting mindfulness. Breathwork is a versatile and accessible tool that empowers individuals to harness the profound connection between their breath and their overall health, offering a path to greater inner peace and vitality.
- YogaA physical, mental and spiritual practice, Yoga is a Vedic tradition of India and the Himalayas dating more than 2,500 years. Classes are generally 1 - 1 ½ hrs in duration and incorporate physical postures and movement (asanas), breath exercises (pranayama), relaxation and concentration, philosophy, and meditation. Yoga benefits the physical and mental body by enhancing flexibility, improving muscle strength and tone, increasing body awareness, and promoting relaxation and calm.
- Craniosacral Visceral TherapyCraniosacral Visceral Therapy is a holistic bodywork approach that seeks to enhance well-being by assessing and manipulating the craniosacral system (the fluid and membranes around the brain and spinal cord) and visceral system (internal organs). Practitioners use gentle touch to release tension and improve the function of these systems, aiming to address physical and emotional issues. It's believed to promote relaxation, alleviate pain, and support the body's self-healing abilities by addressing imbalances in the body's core structures. This therapy is often used in complementary and alternative medicine for a range of health concerns.
- Exercise Advice (as part of overall treatment)Exercise Advice (as part of treatment) is the advice given by a healing modality practitioner to people about physical training. Such advice may be given to healthy individuals, people with a variety of conditions or even professional athletes. Exercise advice is usually tailored to the individual. Usually this advice is given after extensive and detailed assessments of both health and fitness.
