Uses gentle effective techniques that use the body's own ability to get musculoskeletal correction and therefore alignment or balance that results in the relief of pain and stiffness.
These treatments are getting at the causes of pain so the results are lasting. After 7 years of using NSD (a technique that is relatively new to Victoria) I expect you will be pleased with the results that are achieved for what has been unresolved pain.
More about another technique that helps get extremely good results follows
Trigger Point Therapy is an additional technique used in the resolution of pain pioneered by Dr Janet Travell a reknowned American physician.

Musculoskeletal Balance
ABOUT US
Musculoskeletal Balance offers the most gentle, effective treatment of shoulder, neck, hip and back pain, bringing a breakthrough in pain relief to many people. I use techniques that are totally safe and there is no aggressive physical manipulation.
I am using my many years of experience as a physiotherapist to implement what I consider to be a very effective technique called NSD that has been used with success for 25 years particularly in South Australia.
If you are experiencing ongoing pain in the neck, back or shoulders and have not been successful in getting relief from other treatments then this treatment is well worth a try because client satisfaction is extremely high.
The cause of much pain is due to ‘misalignment or “imbalance “of the muscles, joints and bones within the shoulder girdle, spine or the pelvic area, which includes the hip joints.
These imbalances occur through injury, incorrect posture and stress the body is subjected to in our daily lives. When these are not resolved, they can lead to pain and stiffness that does not go away.
"So many people accept pain and discomfort as a necessary part of life when it is not."
NSD TECHNIQUE
Using light pressure on specifically identified points of the body the practitioner stimulates the body’s own ability to correct musculoskeletal or postural imbalance. Relief from years of pain, or change resulting in reduced stiffness, is frequently felt after the first or second treatment. The number of problem areas and the length of time the imbalances have existed, will determine the number of treatments required to get pain relief.
Musculoskeletal balancing has been successful for the treatment of:
- Pain where arthritic changes are present
- Painful knee or knees where there is no known injury to the knees.
- Back pain and strain
- Referred pain from disc problem in the back and sciatic pain
- Neck and shoulder and arm pain
- Headaches and Migraine
- Scoliosis, Kyphosis, Lordosis
- Sciatic pain
- Spondylolisthesis
- Trauma such as a fall
- Tendinitis
- Tennis elbow
- Repetitive sporting injury
- Headaches following trauma
- Whiplash even years after injury
- ...and many other conditions
Have you been diagnosed with scoliosis, tendinitis,or have, migraine headaches, back pain or neck and/or shoulder pain?
I use a highly successflul method of treatment for pain relief.. The technique has been used in clinical practice for over twenty five years and the results are exciting in their success rate.
Musculoskeletal balancing allows muscles to work from a more optimal position (that is, from the best starting position). so strength comes more easily.
Muscles are not so tired from working overtime and the muscles that have not worked effectively are able to do so.
We, as practitioners, find there is less stress on joints and tendons as the muscular system responds to the treatment and so consequent relief from pain.
With sufficient treatment postural change can occur. This is most obvious where you have a lordosis, kyphosis or scoliosis.
I use a gentle, safe and e[fective treatment with minimal, if any, exercise to get results. The thirty minute or more treatment uses no machinery, clothing remains on and the treatment requires the therapist’s hands only.
MORE INFORMATION
If you have ongoing pain and stiffness or you have had months or years of treatment without getting rid of the original area of pain then I suggest you try Musculoskeletal Balance. You may have developed more problem areas and this treatment is designed to help them too.
Sometimes you may have found that exercise has aggravated the pain and discomfort you feel.
Some migraine headaches may occur two or three days after the aggravating movement or exercise has occurred.
"You are ready for exercise when your body is in better alignment."
We find people have a greater energy and feeling of wellbeing after treatment.
People seek treatment for many different conditions and can get relief from more than their primary area of pain.
This treatment does target the cause of much pain in members of our community.
Reclaim your life
Does chronic or acute pain impact on your life? Perhaps you worry
about a daily cocktail of anti-inflammatory, pain relief and other
medication. Or maybe your pain causes depression, anxiety or a lack
of confidence. You can reclaim your life.
The therapist
Caroline Knights is a career health care professional. As a practicing
physiotherapist with over 30 years’ experience, she is well versed in
traditional pain management regimes. Her interest in complementary
therapy began with a personal pain journey. As a result, Caroline now
advocates a harmless, holistic pain management approach.
Natural movement with less pain
Caroline practices non-invasive therapy to restore flexibility and
promote change, allowing muscles to strengthen and the body to
realign. This is especially useful in relieving back and neck pain and
related conditions such as:
• Arthritis and Rheumatism
• Headaches and Migraine
• Scoliosis, Kyphosis and Lordosis
• Sciatica
The restorative treatment gently eases pain and promotes healing
without drugs or manipulation. By simply using light pressure at key
nerve intersections, your body is stimulated to correct muscle alignment
in the treatment area. This response relieves persistent pain and
stiffness to allow a return of fluid movement.
Treatment is completely harmless and suitable for babies through to
elderly individuals. It is safe for those suffering from osteoporosis or
degenerative conditions and is successful in the care of RSI, tendonitis
and pain following whiplash or repetitive sport injuries.
Feel confident again
Of course, freedom from pain is only part of the equation. Greater ease
of movement means you’ll regain vitality and improve your outlook on
life. In fact, many individuals feel revitalised from their very first visit.
So why wait? Whether your goal is to get back to work, enjoy more
freedom or simply face the world. Phone for an appointment and start
enjoying drug-free pain relief today.
