Our Services

Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic adjustments are a natural and drug-free method to restore joint function and alleviate pain. These controlled manipulations target specific joints, particularly in the spine, to enhance mobility and promote the body’s natural healing processes.

Dry Needling Therapy

This technique involves inserting fine needles into muscle trigger points to relieve pain and reduce muscle tension. Dry needling increases blood flow, helping to speed up recovery from injuries and manage chronic pain effectively.

Strapping and Taping

Strapping and taping techniques, including kinesio taping, provide support to injured muscles and joints. They help reduce pain, control inflammation, and aid in recovery while allowing a full range of motion.

Therapeutic Massage Therapy

Jenny-Lyn Mackintosh offers therapeutic massage therapy that adapts to the client’s specific needs. Her treatments help reduce stress, alleviate muscle tension, improve flexibility, and support rehabilitation from injuries.

Exercise Therapy

Exercise therapy includes personalised exercise programmes designed to strengthen weak muscles and improve flexibility. These exercises are particularly beneficial during rehabilitation and for maintaining overall health.
