Bowen Technique
The Bowen technique is a subtle soft tissue remedial therapy. It involves the therapist using fingers or thumbs to move over muscle, ligament, tendon and fascia in various parts of the body, creating a gentle vibratory type cue to which the body can respond.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the many skills used within physiotherapy as an integrated approach to
the management of pain, inflammation and as a means of enhancing the body's own healing processes.
The acupuncture needle will stimulate the flow of QI, which circulates in channels or meridians within the body. The QI circulates within the deeper organs of the body, but connects to the superficial skin. In the state of a normal healthy body, a balance exists between these systems.

Manipulation
Manipulation is a technique used to free restricted joints and promote normal movement. Following a thorough assessment the patient is put into theappropriate position and the tension is taken up in the tissues in the direction of the restriction.

Mobilizations
Joint mobilization is a is a manual therapy intervention which is used to promote freedom of movement in joints. Mobilization consists of small passive movements, usually applied as a series of gentle stretches in a smooth, rhythmic fashion to the individual vertebrae. They are applied at various locations on each of the affected vertebrae, and at various angles, directed at relieving restriction in movement at any particular level of the spine.
