Hands-on therapy, active exercise for strengthening and adjustment, muscle stretching, joint mobilisation, dry needling and other modalities are available as needed to restore and improve the body's overall function.
Lifestyle Medicine
At Active4Life, we treat, prevent, manage and reverse lifestyle-related disease using a comprehensive, evidence-based, whole-systems approach. It also assists us in redefining health as a result of not only our own behaviour, but also that of our society and environment. Our strategy is founded on the axiom that a sick society breeds sick people.
Our comprehensive approach to people's health and wellbeing includes education and guidance in maintaining an optimal diet, hydration, restful sleep, regular movement, recovery and relaxation.
SphygmoCor Xcel Pulse Wave Analysis
This device measures your blood pressure, arterial stiffness and arterial age precisely. The older and stiffer your blood vessels are, the greater your risk of heart disease and related diseases. Changes in lifestyle can reverse arterial stiffness and ageing.
The SphygmoCor XCel device is a screening tool that measures blood pressure accurately, including systolic (the high number) and diastolic (the low number), to determine your risk of cardiovascular disease, hypertension and total mortality.
Fitness Coaching
We specialise in physical injury prevention as well as physical injury treatment and recovery. Our physiotherapists' fitness coaching programmes are designed to provide you with preventative knowledge before you begin exercising. Expect pointers, health screenings and everything in between to ensure that you can participate in activities as safely as possible.
Remedial Massage
The term "massage therapy" is commonly used to describe a wide range of techniques that differ in the way touch, pressure and treatment intensity are applied.
Remedial massage therapy, which includes myotherapy, is the practice of stretching or manipulating a person's muscles and other soft tissues to improve their health and overall wellbeing. It is a type of manual therapy in which the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia are held, moved and corrected.
