Decompress your spine
through our advanced Traction unit
Traction tables are physical therapy devices that use therapeutic exercises and spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) to treat back pain and neck pain. The table is designed to provide a comfortable and secure environment for the patient while the therapist applies traction to the spine.
How Traction Therapyworks:
Traction therapy is believed to work by gently stretching the spine, which can help to relieve pressure on the spinal discs and nerves. This type of therapy is often used in combination with other physio therapy treatments, such as massage, joint mobilisation, and physical therapy exercises. Traction therapy can aid in the recovery from injuries, surgeries, or chronic conditions by promoting tissue repair, reducing inflammation, and increasing blood flow to the affected regions. This can contribute to faster recovery times, improved functional outcomes, and a smoother transition back to daily activities

Discover Relief and Revitalization with
Dry Needling Therapy
At Mickleham Physiotherapy Services, we are dedicated to providing innovative and effective treatments to improve your overall well-being. Dry needling is one such therapeutic technique tha tcan offer significant relief from various musculoskeletal conditions and help you regain control of your life.
What is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a specialised treatment that involves the precise insertion of thin, sterile needles into specific trigger points or tight bands within muscles. These trigger points are often responsible for causing pain and discomfort. Unlike acupuncture, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on balancing energy flow, dry needling is based on modern scientific principles targeting muscular tension and pain relief.
How Dry Needling Works:
During a dry needling session, our skilled physiotherapist will identify the trigger points in your muscles that are contributing to your pain or restricted movement. By inserting the fine needles into these areas, the muscles are stimulated, promoting blood flow and releasing tension. This process helps in relaxing the muscles and reducing pain.
