HOW OUR THERAPIES WORK
Nothing is more important than health. When our bodies are in pain, or a medical condition restricts our movement, it can have a serious impact on how we feel and function.
At Elevate, we address the obstacles to your physical wellbeing and help you live life to its full potential.
We begin by getting a detailed picture of your health – listening to your experience and using rigorous science-based exploration to understand the problem. Then we devise a personalized treatment plan that includes one or more of the physical therapies in which we specialize.
Every body is unique so we devise a solution that’s most effective for your unique situation. We involve you closely and explain your treatment options clearly. This means you can choose a course of action which you’re comfortable with, which complements any existing medical care you are receiving, and which works with your lifestyle.
Our services
Dry needling / Ultrasound dry needling

You can check out our individual services from our menu for a flavor of how each one can help. But the easiest thing to do is to arrange a free consultation and we can advise you on the best course of action. Often, we recommend a combination of treatments as they can work together and reinforce each other. We may also advise on one treatment initially followed by a different one as your recovery progresses.
