Providing Everything You Need
Injury Examination, Assessment & Treatment
At Approach Physiotherapy, our injury examination, assessment, and treatment service is designed to get to the root of your problem. We carry out a thorough evaluation to understand the cause of your pain or injury, then create a personalised treatment plan to reduce discomfort, restore movement, and prevent future issues. Using a combination of hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, and expert guidance, we help you recover safely and return to your daily activities or sport with confidence.
Injury Follow Up Session
Our injury follow-up sessions at Approach Physiotherapy provide ongoing support to monitor your recovery and ensure you’re progressing safely. Each session includes hands-on care, tailored exercises, and expert guidance, allowing us to adjust your treatment plan as needed and address any new or lingering issues. This personalised approach helps restore full function, prevent re-injury, and get you back to daily activities or sport with confidence.
Sports & Deep Tissue Massage
At Approach Physiotherapy, our sports and deep tissue massage services are designed to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and enhance recovery. Whether you’re an athlete looking to optimise performance or recovering from a strain, our hands-on massage techniques target deep layers of muscle and connective tissue to reduce pain, release tightness, and prevent future injuries. Each session is tailored to your needs, helping you feel revitalised, restore mobility, and perform at your best.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
At Approach Physiotherapy, our acupuncture and dry needling services provide targeted relief for pain, muscle tension, and movement restrictions. Using fine, sterile needles, we stimulate specific points to reduce discomfort, improve circulation, and promote the body’s natural healing processes. Whether used to treat acute injuries, chronic pain, or support rehabilitation, each session is tailored to your individual needs, helping restore function, enhance recovery, and improve overall wellbeing.
Radial Shockwave Therapy
At Approach Physiotherapy, our radial shockwave therapy (RSWT) service is a highly effective treatment for chronic tendon and muscle injuries, including plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, and shoulder pain. Using targeted acoustic waves, the therapy stimulates tissue repair, reduces pain, and improves blood flow to the affected area. Each session is tailored to your condition, helping to accelerate healing, restore function, and get you back to your daily activities or sport with confidence.
Hot Stone Therapy
Hot stone therapy at Approach Physiotherapy Clinic is a deeply relaxing treatment that uses smooth, heated stones to ease muscle tension and promote healing. The warmth penetrates deep into the muscles, improving circulation, reducing stiffness, and helping tight or sore areas relax more effectively than massage alone. This treatment is ideal for people with chronic muscle tension, stress-related tightness, or ongoing aches who benefit from a gentle yet effective therapeutic approach.
Kinesiology Taping
Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic technique that uses elastic adhesive tape to support muscles and joints without restricting movement. It’s designed to mimic the skin’s elasticity, helping improve circulation, reduce pain and inflammation, and enhance muscle activation or relaxation as needed. Commonly used in sports medicine and rehabilitation, kinesiology taping can aid injury recovery while allowing people to stay active and move naturally.
Cupping Therapy
At Approach Physiotherapy Clinic, cupping therapy is used as part of a tailored treatment plan to help reduce muscular tension, improve circulation, and support recovery. Specialised suction cups create gentle negative pressure within the tissues, helping to relieve tightness and promote healing. It can be particularly beneficial for sports recovery and persistent soft tissue discomfort. Temporary circular marks may appear following treatment and typically fade within a few days.
