Services
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy at Body Align Clinic addresses musculoskeletal injuries, post-operative rehabilitation, and chronic pain management. Our evidence-based approach combines manual therapy, electrotherapy, and rehabilitative exercises to restore mobility and function. Patients benefit from extended 45-minute sessions with tailored recovery plans.
Osteopathy
Our osteopathy services focus on structural and functional imbalances through gentle manipulation of joints, muscles, and soft tissues. Treatments address back pain, neck stiffness, and sports injuries, incorporating cranial-sacral therapy for infants and adults in a patient-centred framework.
Sports Massage
Sports massage therapy targets muscle imbalances and overuse injuries with deep tissue techniques. Ideal for athletes and active individuals, sessions improve flexibility, reduce recovery time, and prevent injuries through targeted soft tissue mobilisation and postural analysis.
Medical Acupuncture
Medical acupuncture uses sterile needles to treat musculoskeletal pain by targeting trigger points and nerve pathways. This Western science-based technique effectively addresses chronic pain, muscle tension, and nerve-related discomfort as part of an integrated treatment plan.
Clinical Pilates
Clinical Pilates combines stabilisation exercises with functional movement training. One-to-one sessions improve core strength, posture, and injury prevention through personalised programmes using pressure biofeedback tools for measurable progress tracking.
