Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese Medical technique where very fine needles are inserted into carefully selected points on the body.
Acupuncture theory views the body as an intricate network of energy channels that link every part of the body. The state of energy in these channels is constantly changing, and these changes are reflected in our physical, mental and emotional condition. In health, the energy in the channels is relatively balanced, while disruptions to the flow and balance of energy can manifest as pain or illness.
The objective of any Acupuncture treatment is to restore the channels, and the body, to an optimum state of balance and health.
An effective Acupuncture treatment relies on a thorough diagnosis. A detailed case history is taken to give a clear indication of the patient’s condition. This includes information about current symptoms, lifestyle, diet, family medical history, and inspection of the tongue and pulse.
Acupuncture points are then chosen to restore the channel system to its natural state of balance. Needles are inserted into these points and retained for approximately 20 minutes. Patient comfort is a priority, and most people find it very easy to relax during a treatment.

l Migraines

Remedial Massage
Remedial Massage is designed to locate specific areas of tight muscle and alleviate the tension and pain that these areas can cause. It is very effective at providing relief from any type of muscular pain or tension, including lower back pain, stress induced headaches, shoulder and neck pain, as well as overuse and sporting injuries.
Glendon has been practising as a Remedial Massage therapist in Sydney physiotherapy clinics since 1998. He applies a firm, deep pressure required to resolve areas of chronic tension, while feedback and palpation skills are employed to focus on the clients needs and ensure that you remain relaxed and in control of the treatment.
