Going in for ACL reconstruction and you do not know what to expect? Pre & Post-Operative treatment aims to improve outcomes post-surgically and reduce complications to get you active again quicker. Pre-operative conditioning, education, and exercise rehabilitation plays an important role in your recovery.

Nick has a special interest in the treatment of sports injuries. The role of a sports physiotherapist is to promote exercise and safe participation in sport from recreational athletes to the elite. Sporting injuries require appropriate management methods to promote safe return to play, injury prevention and promote performance. Sometimes it is as simple as strengthening, adjusting training loads or correcting biomechanics to get rid of those persistent aches or repetitive strains.

Nick has experience in the diagnosis and management of various conditions relating to the musculoskeletal system. Some of these include: 

Acute and chronic back and neck pain
Tendon pain, ligament sprains, joint and muscle injuries
Sports-related injuries

Dry needling is a popular treatment modality amongst therapists. It is not the same as acupuncture. The technique consists of inserting thin filiform needles into tissue structures to elicit responses that improve and ease muscular pain. Dry needling is only part of a more comprehensive treatment plan but can be quite effective in providing pain relief.
