Our Treatment
Modalities

Controlled, graded movements applied to a joint to restore its normal range of motion. Particularly effective for stiff or painful joints in the spine, shoulder, hip, or ankle.

Used for: cervical and lumbar stiffness, shoulder impingement, hip restriction, ankle stiffness post-sprain, wrist and hand restrictions.Read full article: Joint Mobilisation →

A precise, quick movement applied to a restricted joint. Restores full range of motion, reduces muscle guarding, and produces immediate pain relief. Applied only where clinically appropriate.

Used for: facet joint restrictions in the lumbar and thoracic spine, cervical manipulation in selected cases, costovertebral restriction.

Hands-on techniques targeting muscles, fascia, and connective tissue to reduce tension, break down adhesions, and restore tissue mobility.

After any joint injury, proprioception is significantly impaired. KINETIKA’s vestibular and balance physiotherapists retrain through progressive single-leg stance, perturbation training, and vestibular rehabilitation.

At KINETIKA we use Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) — combining isometric contraction, relaxation, and passive stretch to achieve tissue elongation well beyond passive stretching alone.

Used for: hamstring tightness in low back pain, hip flexor shortening, calf and Achilles restriction, thoracic and cervical mobility, pre- and post-athletic performance.Read full article →

Progressive resistance training prescribed as part of rehabilitation from the earliest appropriate stage. Load is the primary stimulus for tendon remodelling, bone density maintenance, and muscle hypertrophy.

Used for: tendinopathies, post-surgical rehabilitation, osteoporosis management, sports performance, chronic pain with deconditioning.

Dysfunctional breathing patterns contribute to elevated sympathetic nervous system activity, pelvic floor overactivity, and chronic pain sensitisation. We retrain diaphragmatic mechanics and coordinate breathing with core stability.

Used for: chronic pain with central sensitisation, pelvic floor dysfunction, thoracic stiffness, anxiety-driven musculoskeletal tension.

Every patient leaves KINETIKA with a precise, individually prescribed home program — targeted at their specific assessment findings with photos, repetition targets, and loading progressions.

TECAR uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to generate deep tissue heat. It increases circulation, accelerates repair, reduces oedema, and improves tissue extensibility.

Used for: acute and subacute muscle injuries, tendinopathies, post-surgical rehabilitation, joint capsule restrictions, chronic back and neck pain.Read full article →

Laser therapy uses red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate biological processes, triggering increased ATP production, reduced inflammatory mediators, and stimulation of collagen synthesis.

Used for: tendinopathies, ligament sprains, post-surgical healing, osteoarthritis pain, chronic pain syndromes, peripheral neuropathy.Read full article →

Shockwave delivers high-energy acoustic waves to break down calcific deposits, stimulate collagen remodelling, and restart the healing process in chronically degenerated tendons.

Used for: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, patella tendinopathy, calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis, greater trochanteric pain syndrome.Read full article →

TENS delivers low-level electrical current to modulate pain signals at the nerve level via the gate control mechanism and endorphin release.

Used for: acute and post-surgical pain, chronic low back and neck pain, osteoarthritis, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia.Read full article →

EMS delivers electrical impulses to produce targeted muscle contractions — re-educating function when voluntary activation is impaired and preventing atrophy.

Used for: post-surgical muscle re-education, atrophy prevention, strength augmentation in sports rehabilitation, neurological presentations with muscle weakness.Read full article →

The traction table applies a controlled distractive force to the spine, decompressing intervertebral discs, facet joints, and neural foramen.

Used for: lumbar disc herniation with or without sciatica, cervical disc herniation with arm pain, spinal stenosis, facet joint compression pain.Read full article →

Sequential, graduated compression from distal to proximal — mimicking and amplifying the body’s natural lymphatic pumping mechanism to reduce oedema and accelerate sports recovery.

Used for: post-injury and post-surgical oedema, lymphoedema management, sports recovery, chronic venous insufficiency.Read full article →

Therapeutic ultrasound delivers high-frequency sound waves into tissue, producing thermal and non-thermal effects that accelerate healing. Used as an adjunct to manual therapy before stretching or mobilisation.

Used for: soft tissue injuries, tendinopathies, scar tissue management, joint capsule tightness.

A fine acupuncture needle inserted directly into a myofascial trigger point, producing a local twitch response that resets neuromuscular dysfunction — reaching deeper muscles inaccessible to manual compression.

Used for: deep trigger points in muscles inaccessible to manual pressure, chronic myofascial pain syndromes, sports injury with significant muscle guarding.

Elastic therapeutic tape applied to skin to provide proprioceptive feedback, support structures without restricting movement, and modulate tissue tension. Used selectively as an adjunct at KINETIKA.

Thermotherapy (heat) increases tissue extensibility before manual therapy. Cryotherapy (cold) reduces acute inflammation and pain. Contrast therapy alternates both to drive circulatory pumping in subacute swelling management.

Custom insoles prescribed following a detailed biomechanical assessment of foot posture, gait, and load distribution using pressure mapping technology.

Used for: plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, knee pain with pronation pathomechanics, metatarsalgia, Morton’s neuroma, patellofemoral pain.Custom Insoles at KINETIKA →

KINETIKA’s chiropractic services focus on spinal and joint manipulation as part of an integrated musculoskeletal assessment approach — always combined with rehabilitation exercise and education.

Used for: lumbar and thoracic facet joint restrictions, cervical manipulation in selected cases, rib dysfunction, sacroiliac joint presentations.

Emsella uses HIFEM technology to stimulate thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in a single 28-minute seated session, delivered alongside hands-on pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Used for: stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence, pelvic floor strengthening post-partum, pelvic organ prolapse support.Read more: Pelvic Health Physiotherapy →

Aquatic physiotherapy uses the physical properties of water — buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and warmth — to enable exercise impossible or painful on land.

Used for: early post-surgical rehabilitation, severe osteoarthritis, complex regional pain syndrome, obesity-related joint loading, neurological rehabilitation.

PNE teaches patients about the biological processes underlying their pain — how the nervous system generates, amplifies, and maintains pain signals, and how stress, sleep, lifestyle, and beliefs interact with tissue health.

The clinical art of progressing tissue loading optimally — stimulating repair without provoking excessive irritability. Every patient receives clear guidance on what activities are safe, what to modify, and how to progress.

At KINETIKA, we address the lifestyle and ergonomic factors contributing to your presentation — workstation setup, sleep positioning, footwear, sport technique analysis, and the role of stress physiology in pain sensitisation.
