Compression Therapy

Compression boots use compressed air to massage your legs, mobilise fluid, optimise circulation, reduce muscle soreness and speed up recovery. The Pulsio compression boots have 3 customisable cycles which your practitioner will utilise to ensure your session is tailored to your individual needs.

Ultrasound therapy

Therapeutic ultrasound is a high frequency soundwave which causes a fine vibration of the cells in the body. This encourages healing in the soft tissues. It is a non-invasive, pain-free treatment which makes a great adjunct to Physiotherapy.
