Physio Based Massage
Massage will be included and can be discussed as part of your treatment. Toni has been massaging since her undergrad many moons ago and understands the benefits of gently manipulating and mobilising tissue. There will be deep tissue where needed also.
Massage will relieve pain and stiffness. Encourage blood circulation and move inflammation out of tight tissue. Massage techniques will also be used on fascia and ligaments to return the tissue to the initial resting length so that it can function normally and compliment rehabilitative exercises.

Dry Needling
As long as I have been a physio, I have been dry needling. This treatment has eradicated chronic conditions that have plagued patients for years. Dry needling works by stimulating mysofascial trigger points and returning muscle to its normal functioning state. It promotes blood flow for healing and naturally stimulates histamine release within the muscle to further relax the tissue.
A very thin sterile single use acupuncture needle is used. This can be discussed and included in your treatment where needed. Dry needling has amazing effects on just to name a few, Tennis Elbow, hip pain, lower back and glute tightness, upper back/shoulders, rotator cuff and plantar fasciitis.
Talk to Toni today to discuss how dry needling might be able to help manage your headache pain and other concerns you may also have.
Since moving to work with headaches and the brainstem 4 years ago. Toni still has a strong passion for general musculoskeletal physiotherapy. Many patients over the years have asked and been treated conditions such as the ones mentioned above. As well as adhesive capsulitis, SIJ dysfunction and knee tracking issues.
