What we treat
Pain- nerve pain, Neuropathy
We treat any type of pain. Pain is often associated with new or old injuries, sprains, strains, tears, ligament, muscular damage and post surgery. Neuropathy from different causes.
All types of back, muscular, spinal and disc problems-
- Any type of muscle, nerve, ligament, tendon or fascia problems
- Disc compression, herniation or bulging

We use a combination of techniques to control pain, correct structural imbalances, regulate nerves, release muscle spasm, reduce swelling, increase range of motion, reduce stiffness and speed healing. Techniques may include Acupuncture, Bowen therapy, Manual therapy and the SWITCH method.

Difficult and complex cases with muscular strains and sprains, tears and pain.

Post Surgery Problems-
We have great success treating the post traumatic problems associated with numbness, tingling, pain, weakness, spinal surgery, hip or knee replacements, carpal tunnel surgery and knee or shoulder surgery.
We understand the process and how to control the post surgical trauma using a combination of Bowen Therapy, Acupuncture and the SWITCH Method with amazing results.
Migraine headaches-
Migraine headaches are usually caused by some internal disturbance involving the liver. The treatment focuses on regulating the liver using either specific Bowen therapy movements or Acupuncture or both. 2 Types of treatment are offered-
1) Abortive treatment- terminates the migraine. This is for when you actually have a migraine and want to stop the cycle.
2) Preventative and Maintanance treatment- This approach has a more long term affect where you undergo a series of treatments to regulate the liver on a deeper level. The treatments will reduce the pain, duration, intensity and frequency of the migraines and in many cases completely eliminate them.
Children-
We can treat children and babies of all ages for a range of problems including-
- Back, neck or joint problems
- Sleeping problems
- Digestive problems
- Irritability
If your child has some other problem just ask us if we can help. We have seen all types of problems that we have been able to help with. We use the SWITCH method on all children which is very gentle and for older children we may also use Bowen therapy and or Manual therapy also. Our treatment for children is an alternative to chiropractic treatment.
Injuries-
Common injuries we treat-
- Achilles tendon sprains and tears
- Ankle sprains
- Calf muscle & hamstring strains
- Knee ligament/tendon injuries
- Back, spine & disc problems
- Tendonitis
- Tennis elbow
80% of the injuries are caused by overuse mechanisms which causes stress to the muscles, neuropathy,bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. This continuous stress causes repetitive microtrauma and the body cannot keep up with the repair of the damage.
The result is breakdown of the tissue, pain, inflammation and weakness and if left untreated will lead to macrotrauma- damage to the muscle, bone or tendon. This will also cause lingering pain and increased tendency for injuries to recur. Injuries are common in all types of sports and exercise. We understand the specific demands and risk factors of various activities.
Our experience extends over many types of athletes and over the past 25 years in Australia and Hawaii where many athletes were referred to us from organisations including the Honolulu Marathon clinic, BOCA Hawaii training programs and Team Jet.
