Whether you are an elite athlete, a ‘weekend warrior’ or simply involved in regular exercise or gym training programs, undoubtedly your body will be vulnerable to pain or injuries. In most sports and activities, weak structure, posture or core strength may lead to back pain or susceptibility to injuries, & as time goes on, these imbalances may gradually accumulate and affect your physical performance & recovery.

The Halo approach is wholistic, meaning we utilise a variety of techniques suited to your current conditions and level of health & your preferences. This may include specific adjustments and corrections, mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, neuro-dynamic stretching, rehabilitation, kinesio-taping, strapping & bracing as well as at-home self-care strategies & co-management with other health care professionals.
