Physiotherapy
Something hurts. Let's figure out why — and actually fix it.
Pain has a way of shrinking your life. The things you love doing become things you do less, or stop doing altogether. You modify, compensate, and push through — until one day you realize you've been doing that for months.
At Black Mountain Physio, treatment goes beyond symptom relief. The focus is on the whole picture — your body, your history, your movement patterns, and your goals — to build a plan that makes sense for all of it.
How we work
Every session is 1:1 with Katie. No assistants, no double-booking. Just thorough, hands-on care that gives your body the time and attention it deserves. Treatment draws on a combination of:
Manual therapy
Hands-on techniques to release soft tissue, restore joint mobility, and reduce pain.
Exercise prescription
Targeted strengthening and movement work to address the root cause and prevent recurrence.
Education
Understanding what's happening in your body is part of getting better. You'll leave each session with clarity, not just a list of exercises.
Acupuncture
Used both as a treatment and as a diagnostic tool. In some cases, acupuncture helps activate an inhibited muscle or release tension in a way that reveals the most effective exercise to add to your home program — making your rehab more targeted and your time between sessions more productive.
