MOVEMENT

It's an expression of who we are and what we do, yet so often we take it for granted ...

...until our body lets us down.

Movement is a learned skill: we learn to crawl, learn to stand, learn to walk and learn to talk. Even learning to read requires delicate and precise control of eye muscles.

Sometimes in our early development these systems don't develop as they should resulting in impairment in our balance, coordination, gross motor and fine motor skills. This in turn affects us in the classroom, sports field and everyday lives.

Similarly in later life we start to loose precise control of these systems. We become stiffer and our balance and coordination becomes impaired ... sometimes with devastating consequences.

There are solutions ...

We are allied health care professionals with a special interest in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and movement related complaints. We have highly specialised diagnostic skills and equipment which enables us to effectively measure and treat movement and movement related dysfunction.
