We’re happy to help you if you’ve just had an injury or if you’ve been struggling with a problem for some time. It’s always better to seek treatment and advice as soon after injury as possible, that way you know the right things to do for your body.

We also offer Pilates, and Massage therapy services.

Massage

Why massage? Massage is excellent for relaxation and stress relief, which we all know we could do with. Tight, sore muscles respond very well to massage and myofascial techniques for reduction of stress and tension. Massage is also very useful for the sports person who may be experiencing tightness and extra soreness in certain muscle groups. Physiotherapists are highly qualified in the diagnosis of soft tissue damage and postural problems. As such, your massage will be fine tuned to your personal needs for maximum benefit. Whether you require relaxation “time out”, relief of muscle tension or release of those “muscle knots”, massage by a physiotherapist may well be the answer for you.

Who is it for? Anyone and Everyone!

• The stressed or busy work person – those with occupational soreness • Athletes – for general sports massage or pre/post events
• If you’re looking for personal “time out”
• Those needing relief of muscle ache in conjunction with another condition
• Women during pregnancy
• Someone looking for a treat – for yourself, a friend or a loved one.

What to expect Professional treatment in a private room. No undue body exposure is required.  One of the fundamental skills of physiotherapy is therapeutic massage.

Remember – You don’t need to have been to a doctor to come and see us at Central City Physiotherapy. We can help you to fill in any ACC forms if you have an injury that’s covered by ACC.
