Treatment Techniques
At Rehab Space, the following are specialised treatment techniques that our physiotherapists are certified to use according to your condition. These are often integrated with targeted rehab exercises and education to create safe, effective and lasting results.
 Dry NeedlingDry needling is a safe, evidence-informed physiotherapy treatment used to relieve muscle pain and restore movement. By placing a fine sterile needle into tight, overactive muscle trigger points, we can reduce tension, improve blood flow, and help calm pain signals. It’s commonly used for neck and back pain, sports injuries, headaches, and persistent muscle tightness. Treatment is tailored to each person and is typically combined with hands-on therapy and exercise for longer-lasting results. |  Spinal ManipulationSpinal mobilisation and manipulation to reduce pain, improve joint movement, and restore normal spinal function. Mobilisation involves gentle, controlled movements to stiff spinal joints, while manipulation is a precise, quick thrust applied to a specific joint when appropriate. Both techniques are evidence-informed, tailored to your condition, and used to help with neck pain, back pain, headaches, and movement restriction. |  Scar Tissue MobilisationScar tissue mobilisation is a gentle, hands-on technique used after surgery or radiation to improve tissue flexibility, reduce tightness, and restore comfortable movement. Treatment focuses on releasing restrictions in the skin and underlying soft tissues that may form during healing, helping to reduce pain, pulling sensations, and stiffness. In post-radiation care, it can also support mobility in areas affected by fibrosis. |

 Manual Lymphatic DrainageManual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised massage technique used to support lymph flow and reduce swelling in people with lymphedema. Using light, rhythmic movements, treatment helps move fluid away from congested areas toward healthy drainage pathways, which can ease heaviness, discomfort, and tightness. MLD is often part of a broader lymphedema plan that may include compression therapy, exercise, skin care, and self-management education. |  Compression BandagingCompression bandaging is a key lymphedema treatment used to reduce swelling and help maintain limb shape. Special short-stretch bandages are applied in layers to provide gentle, graduated pressure, supporting lymph fluid movement out of the affected area. It is often used during the intensive phase of care and paired with manual lymphatic drainage, exercise, and skin care for best results. |  Vestibular TreatmentTreatment may include gaze-stability training, balance retraining, habituation exercises, and positional manoeuvres when needed. |
 Clinical PilatesClinical Pilates is a physiotherapist-led exercise approach that improves strength, control, posture, and flexibility through precise, low-impact movement. Unlike general Pilates classes, each program is individually tailored to your injury history, pain levels, and rehabilitation goals. It is commonly used for back and neck pain, postural issues, injury prevention, and return-to-activity training. |
