Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves the use of single-use, pre-sterilised disposable needles that pierce the skin at the acupuncture points. Your Physiotherapist will determine the locations of these points on the basis of an assessment. A number of needles may be used during each treatment, and these are typically left in position for between 20 and 30 minutes.
Trigger point acupuncture may also be used to facilitate relaxation in specific muscles following traumas, for longer-term unresolved muscle pain, or as a means of increasing muscle length in order to aid stretch and rehabilitation.
Body MOT
Using a variety of assessment tools, our Physiotherapists can assess for asymmetries in muscle tightness and strength; mobility; joint stiffness. So whether you’re thinking about increasing your exercise, training for a race or have a history of injuries you’d prefer not to come back, a Body MOT is just what you need. Furthermore, this ensures that your body is at its optimum and there’s a low risk of injury. If it’s not, then utilising our multidisciplinary approach at Andra Health, we’ll offer all the advice we can to make sure you get you there.

Gait Analysis
Gait analysis involves the process of looking at someones walking or running pattern and analysing this for inefficient movement patterns. A Gait Analysis session is with one of our therapists who will get you moving on a treadmill and video your gait. This analysis will allow the therapist to identify less optimal movements and identify why they are occurring.
Gait Analysis is for any level of runner who has a related injury. However, a Gait analysis is also useful to identify running errors and make headway in minimising them to reduce the impact on ligaments or tendons, and therefore prevent injury.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is the practice of being in the present moment.
So often in our lives we are focussed on 'what's next' - the next meal, the next thing on our to-do-list, the next task or goal. Learning to listen to your body and switch off those nagging thoughts you can become more productive, more focussed and - dare we say - more happy!
We offer both mindfulness 1-2-1 sessions and regular monthly workshops available to all.
Personal Training
Instructor and Personal Trainer Beth is offering Personal Training sessions at the clinic in Melbourne. Sessions take place within the studio space, utilising a small range of equipment to support you with heath, weight-loss or fitness goals. With her Pilates and Yoga expertise, Beth is also adept at helping with mobility problems and posture improvement.
Physiolab
Physiolab equipment provides benefit by aiding muscle recovery and reducing inflammation caused by injury. Physiolab may be recommended as a treatment option. After your first session, we can teach you how to set the equipment up so you can drop in to our Rehab Room sessions and make the most of the equipment and studio space to stretch and foam roll after.
If you have sustained a more serious injury, using Physiolab several times a day may be of great benefit. Additionally, you may be at a point where your exercise load is at a peak. If so, you can rent the Physiolab system and use in the comfort of your own home.
For more information visit the Physiolab website for details.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a highly beneficial technique to reduce pain and tension in tight, sore muscles. Sports massage can help to improve circulation, aid drainage of excess fluid, improve movement, relieve pain and aid relaxation. It may help a range of conditions, including problems with the neck, back, upper and lower limbs, headaches, and stress. Sports massage can be used to enhance performance, warm up muscles and aid healing. Sports massage is not only for athletes, it can help anyone to relax and lower stress as it improves circulation and reduces tension.
