Sectors
A physiotherapist’s goal is to enhance and maintain physical function through health promotion, injury prevention, therapeutic management and rehabilitation
Our holistic approach means we look at all aspects of our patients’ lives that may be affecting their wellbeing, and aim to incorporate that into our care. My aim is to have every patient who steps through my door feel that they are in a comfortable and warm environment where they are seen and heard.

Services
01
Musculoskeletal Assessment
Assessment begins with a thorough discussion of your current symptoms and medical history. This helps form a clear understanding of the issue, allowing for a working diagnosis that can be confirmed or adjusted during the physical assessment that follows.
02
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy involves hands-on techniques to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function. These include techniques such as massage, specific soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, muscle activation and stretching.
03
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound is a non-invasive device that uses high frequency sound waves to create thermal energy and cavitation in the tissue. The increase in blood flow and stimulation of cellular function helps to relieve pain and promote tissue healing in certain injuries.
04
Dry Needling
Dry needling is an invasive technique using acupuncture needles inserted into muscles. Myofascial trigger points are targeted with the aim of reducing tension in the muscle fibres as well as stimulating blood flow to the area and reducing sensitization to pain.
05
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is a very important part of recovery, whether it is from injury, a painful movement pattern or surgery. There are multiple benefits across all age groups. Exercises would be given according to individual needs to achieve optimal strength and flexibility.

What They're Saying
"Alexa is my absolute ‘go to’ for anything physio related. I absolutely could not recommend her enough! Her friendly and caring demeanor is infectious and she’s an incredible physio. All my friends are hooked onto her now too. Definitely worth every penny! " - Tayla
"Alexa treated me for a badly sprained ankle. From start to finish, she was excellent. Her careful assessment of the injury and the therapeutic regimen she prescribed was professional and effective. She’s knowledgeable, friendly and genuinely cares about her patients. Alexa really made it much easier to deal with and recover from a painful injury. Since then, whenever any injury or ache crops up, I book a session with Alexa as soon as I can. She’s an outstanding physio and I strongly recommend her." - Kevin

"Alexa is an absolutely incredible physiotherapist who has helped me incredibly with my neck and back pain. She pays attention to detail and doesn’t just treat for the sake of it she always tries to get to the root or bottom of the cause. She is a fabulous person and is easy to talk to as well as having a wealth of knowledge. Absolutely highly recommended I would give her a million stars if I could." - Bianca
