Our Hands-On Treatment Techniques

Our Dunedin physiotherapists are trained in a variety of advanced manual therapy techniques, including:

Joint Mobilisation & Manipulation

Gentle joint mobilisation techniques help improve movement, reduce stiffness and restore proper alignment. Where appropriate, more advanced manipulative (high velocity, low amplitude joint thrust) techniques can also be applied to enhance function.

Soft Tissue & Fascial Release

Targeted massage and fascial release techniques help ease muscle tightness (fascial congestion), improve circulation, and promote healing.

Trigger Point Therapy

By applying pressure to specific points in the muscles, we can reduce referred pain and restore normal muscle activation.

Muscle Energy Techniques

These gentle, active techniques use a combination of muscle contraction and relaxation to correct alignment and improve movement.

Integrated Exercise & Rehab Support

While manual therapy provides immediate relief, we combine it with tailored exercise programs, movement education and rehabilitation in our MoveZone rehab space to ensure long-term recovery and performance.
