At Elite Health – Sports & Spinal, we offer a comprehensive range of evidence-based treatment techniques designed to restore function, reduce pain, and enhance overall wellbeing. Each approach is tailored to your individual needs, whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or optimising performance.
Spinal & Limb Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments are used to improve joint alignment, mobility, and function. These can be administered manually, with instruments, or using low-force techniques depending on your comfort and clinical needs.
Adjustments target both the spine and peripheral joints—including the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle—to restore optimal movement and reduce strain on surrounding tissues.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves the insertion of a fine, solid needle into myofascial trigger points to deactivate and desensitise irritated muscle tissue. This technique stimulates a healing response, reduces biomechanical stress, and helps restore normal muscle function.
It’s particularly effective for relieving muscular tension, improving range of motion, and accelerating recovery from soft tissue injuries.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
IASTM is a targeted soft tissue therapy using stainless steel instruments to release scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions. This evidence-based technique helps:
- Break up abnormal tissue densities
- Stimulate the nervous system
- Re-initiate the healing process through cellular proliferation
IASTM is used to treat a variety of tissue dysfunctions, including:
- Scarring and fibrosis
- Fascial tension and densification
- Neural tension and muscle shortening
- Trigger points and neurologic restrictions
By modifying physiological responses to injury and enhancing musculoskeletal function, IASTM creates an optimal environment for healing and recovery.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is a powerful tool for improving muscular strength, flexibility, and pain relief. Our treatments incorporate:
- Deep tissue massage
- Myofascial release
- Trigger point therapy
These techniques help restore functional performance, reduce inflammation, and support long-term recovery.
Rehabilitation, Stretching & Exercise Prescription
We design personalised rehabilitation plans to restore mobility, strength, and fitness for everyday life, work, and sport. Combining hands-on treatment with targeted stretching and exercise ensures lasting results and empowers you to take an active role in your recovery.
Rigid Tape & Kinesiology Tape
Rigid Strapping Tape
Used to prevent joint and ligament injuries during sport or to stabilise previously injured areas. It provides structural support and enhances proprioception and muscle function.
Kinesiology Tape
This elastic tape lifts the skin to decompress underlying tissues, offering three key benefits:
- Fluid effect – Enhances blood and lymphatic flow
- Mechanical effect – Improves glide between tissue layers
- Neurological effect – Alters pain perception and boosts body awareness
