stimulating balance, posture and breathing control

improving pelvic stability

improving pelvic floor control

enhancing performance at work, sport and everyday activities

Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years and in the modern era has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for injuries and musculoskeletal imbalances. It is effective for relieving muscle pain and spasm and improving circulation to tense or injured tissues. We find acupuncture especially effective for chronic injuries which have been poorly responsive to other types of treatment.

All of our acupuncturists are also physiotherapists with expertise in the treatment of sports and spinal conditions. Our qualified therapists are amongst the most experienced in Adelaide in combining acupuncture with other physical therapies where necessary. We guarantee to provide acupuncture therapy in a clean and relaxed environment. Rest assured that our aim is to get you back to your sport, work or other physical activity a soon as possible.
