The principle of practice is dedicated to helping individuals achieve their health and wellness goals, providing not just treatment but also education and guidance to promote long-term well-being.
The length of our musculoskeletal physiotherapy service varies depending on the individual's condition, needs, and goals.

We offer flexible scheduling options to accommodate our clients' busy lifestyles.
What sets our musculoskeletal physiotherapy service apart is our holistic approach to care. In addition to hands-on treatment techniques, we focus on empowering our clients through education, exercise programs, and self-management strategies. We believe in addressing not just the symptoms but also the underlying causes of musculoskeletal issues to promote lasting improvements in function and quality of life.
Dry Needling
Dry needling offers effective pain relief and improved mobility for those struggling with musculoskeletal issues. Through the precise insertion of thin needles into trigger points in muscles, our experienced therapists help alleviate muscle tension and pain.
Before the session, a thorough evaluation is conducted to pinpoint the specific areas that require attention, leading to targeted and efficient therapy.
The mechanisms include
A localised twitch response is an involuntary spinal reflex in which the affected muscles contract. This is caused by the stimulation of mechanoreceptors, ultimately altering the the length and tension of muscle fibres.
Dry needling causes vasodilation of the affected muscle’s capillary bed therefore, restoring homeostasis by increasing blood flow.
Myofascial trigger points once stimulated may produce a local and central nervous system response which results in the reduction in both central and peripheral sensitisation of pain.
Sports Massage
At Ark Therapy, our sports massage service is tailored to meet the distinct needs of athletes and sports enthusiasts, offering a range of benefits to enhance performance, aid in recovery, and prevent injuries.
What distinguishes our sports massage service is our personalised approach.
