Begins with a 60 minute assessment and treatment. From there, treatment draws on a full clinical toolkit, chosen based on what you actually need:

Treatment options can include:

• Massage

• Myofascial release, including PNF (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation, a technique that uses gentle muscle contractions to improve flexibility and reduce tightness) and MET (Muscle Energy Techniques, a similar hands-on approach to easing restricted muscles and joints)

• Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD)

• Joint mobilisation, gentle but really effective targeted movement to improve how a joint moves

• Stretching and exercise

• Dry needling, a technique using fine needles to release tight muscles and trigger points

This approach particularly suits nerve-related pain (like carpal tunnel or sciatica), lower back, hip, shoulder and neck pain, and healthy ageing, including falls prevention and balance work.

Firm, therapeutic, and not usually painful. I don’t practice painful deep tissue work except perhaps on very specific areas as needed. Can also include myofascial release techniques as listed above. 

For anyone maintaining their wellbeing.  This is about keeping on top of everyday tension rather than treating a specific injury.

Every first booking starts with a 60 minute Initial Consultation, whichever service you're after. This gives Robyn time to check any contraindications and briefly discuss treatment goals before treatment begins.

  A few important health questions to ensure safe treatment options, understanding your needs - why have you sought treatment?, "range of motion" and other orthopedic tests to help inform the origin of your pain and treatment. $110*
