Services
Manual Physiotherapy
Our manual physiotherapy uses hands-on techniques to treat spinal, extremity, and musculoskeletal dysfunction. This evidence-based approach addresses nerve, muscle, and joint issues through skilled assessment and treatment. Patients benefit from improved mobility, pain relief, and functional restoration without relying on machines.
Intramuscular Stimulation
Intramuscular Stimulation (Gunn) treats chronic pain through fine needle insertion into myofascial trigger points. This technique effectively addresses neuropathic pain and muscle tension by stimulating healing responses. Patients experience reduced pain and improved muscle function through this evidence-based approach.
Real Time Ultrasound
Real-time ultrasound imaging assesses core muscle function for low back pain and pelvic conditions. This diagnostic tool guides targeted rehabilitation strategies for lumbar stability and pelvic floor dysfunction. Patients receive visual feedback to enhance their therapeutic exercises and recovery process.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture services integrate traditional techniques with modern physiotherapy for pain management. This treatment modality addresses various musculoskeletal conditions by promoting natural healing and pain relief. Patients benefit from reduced inflammation and improved circulation through targeted needle placement.
Exercise Programs
Customized exercise programs address individual injury recovery and strength development. These home-based regimens complement hands-on treatments by reinforcing proper movement patterns. Patients receive personalized instruction to enhance recovery and prevent future injuries through targeted physical activity.

Report
Today was my first introduction to IMS and Pat Palmer was amazing by informing me what she does and how it works. I've been experiencing constant sciatic and left thigh muscle pain for over half a year and already feeling better, have a few more treatments until hip surgery and will be as good as new soon when this takes place.
