Acupuncture & Dry Needling

The InSync Approach
Sports injuries often happen when your training load exceeds your current capacity — whether from contact, fatigue, poor movement patterns, or just not enough recovery.

Our physiotherapists work with you to identify why your injury occurred and guide a strategic, confident return to your sport. Numbers don’t lie, so we ensure to use them as a guide along the way.

Who It’s For

• Pain during or after training
• Recent sprains, strains, or impact injuries
• Time off sport and ready to return
• Ongoing niggles or repeat flare-ups
• Feeling limited in movement, strength, or speed

What Treatment May Include

• Hands-on physio (manual therapy) to reduce pain and restriction
• Technique and movement assessment
• Strength, mobility, and motor control training
• Sport-specific rehab and loading progressions (taking you through a sequence of exercises starting from your level.

How It Helps

• Settle pain and inflammation
• Restore strength, movement, and function
• Reduce risk of reinjury
• Build resilience for your sport

Common Injuries Treated

• Ankle sprains
• Calf, hamstring, groin strains
• Achilles issues
• Shin splints, runner’s knee
• Tennis/golfer’s elbow
• Sciatica
• Shoulder injuries
• ACL injuries

InSync Insight
Returning to sport shouldn’t feel rushed. A true return to sport means coming back stronger, more capable, and without hesitation. We don’t just aim to get you moving again — we aim to keep you there. Confidence, not caution, is the goal — and re-injury is not part of the plan.

Physiotherapy may also be used as a conservative approach before surgery is considered, in collaboration with your surgeon. Often, we have helped people avoid surgery or put it off to years later.

Who This Is For

Post-operative rehabilitation may be ideal if you:

• Are preparing for an upcoming surgery
• Have recently undergone orthopaedic surgery
• Are returning to movement after a period of rest or immobilisation
• Want guidance rebuilding strength and function safely

What Treatment May Involve

All rehabilitation is tailored to your surgery, stage of healing, and goals:

• Pain and swelling management
• Restoring joint movement and mobility
• Strength and muscle retraining
• Gradual return to work, daily life, or sport

We work closely with your surgeon’s post-op guidelines to ensure a safe, progressive recovery.

How It Supports Recovery

Physiotherapy helps to:

• Protect the surgical site in early recovery
• Regain movement after immobilisation
• Rebuild strength and control
• Support a confident return to activity

InSync Insight
Surgery fixes the structure — rehab brings your body back to life. A successful outcome relies on restoring how you move, not just what was repaired. This is also a great opportunity to re-build yourself stronger than before.

Common Surgeries We Support

• ACL and rotator cuff reconstruction
• Spinal surgery (i.e. laminectomy, fusion)
• Total knee and Total hip replacements
• Joint debridement (“clean-out”) procedures i.e. Menisectomy 
• Fracture repairs with plates or screws, called ORIF’s (open reduction internal fixation)
• Postnatal pelvic floor recovery

Whether you’re preparing for surgery or just starting rehab, our team is here to guide your recovery.

Who This Is For

Consider a technique assessment if you:

• Fatigue early in training
• Experience pain with specific movements
• Feel unstable or “off” in your technique
• Are returning to sport post-injury
• Want to boost performance and reduce risk

What We Assess

• Sport-specific movement analysis
• Strength, coordination, and mobility
• Movement pattern inefficiencies
• Practical coaching and correction

Assessment is tailored to your body, sport, and goals.

How It Helps

• Improves movement efficiency
• Reduces unnecessary joint/muscle stress
• Boosts performance and confidence
• Lowers injury risk

InSync Insight

Better technique isn’t about perfection. It’s about efficiency under pressure.

Nerve-related pain often stems from pressure on nerves within the spine — commonly caused by disc irritation, postural compression, or structural changes. Spinal decompression is a gentle, motorised traction system used to relieve pressure and help settle nerve symptoms.

This is used selectively, always following a full clinical assessment, and as part of a holistic rehabilitation plan. In the past 11 years, this device has helped thousands of patients avoid surgery.

Who This Is For

Spinal decompression may be helpful if you’re experiencing:

• Sciatic pain
• Numbness, tingling, or pins and needles
• Nerve pain in arms, hands, legs, or feet
• Limb weakness, heaviness of limbs or difficulty with movement
• Pain that worsens at night or with prolonged sitting

What Treatment May Involve

Depending on your symptoms and diagnosis:

• Cervical or lumbar traction
• Controlled pressure and duration based on your needs
• Combination with mobility, strength, and postural retraining
• Close monitoring and progression each session

You remain fully supported and comfortable throughout the process.

How It Supports Recovery

Spinal decompression aims to:

• Relieve nerve root irritation
• Improve spinal movement and comfort
• Support hydration and fluid movement through spinal discs
• Create a better environment for recovery

InSync Insight
Traction helps relieve pressure. But lasting results come from rebuilding the control, strength, and mobility that protect your spine long term.

Assessment & Ongoing Care

Your initial assessment includes:

• Thorough history and neurological screening
• Movement and postural testing
• Individualised care planning

Decompression is only used when appropriate and always combined with active rehabilitation strategies.

At InSync Health, taping is always integrated into a broader treatment plan — never used as a standalone solution.

Who This Is For

Taping may benefit you if you:

• Feel unstable or unsupported during activity or sport
• Experience pain during training or movement
• Are returning to activity post-injury
• Need added support while your body regains strength and control
• Need short-term support during rehabilitation

What Treatment Involves

Taping may be used to:

• Support joints and soft tissues under load
• Limit painful or excessive movement
• Reduce strain on injured structures
• Assist with posture or movement control
  In some cases, modified techniques may be used to influence lower limb mechanics — similar to orthotic support.

How It Supports Recovery

• Reduces pain during activity
• Improves movement confidence
• Supports graded return to sport
• Makes rehab exercises more comfortable

InSync Insight

Taping supports movement. Strength and control are what sustain it.

Common Areas Taped

• Postural support; helping to remind you to sit/stand up straight
• Ankle and knee stability; ankle sprains and knee ligament injuries
• Shoulder and elbow support; tennis and golfer’s elbow
• Wrist, hand, and thumb injuries
• Hip and lower limb conditions

We liaise directly with your case manager, employer, and treating doctor to support your rehabilitation with clarity and care.

Who This Is For

At InSync Health, we manage splinting and casting in-house, ensuring seamless progression into rehabilitation.

Who This Is For

Splinting or casting may be needed if you have:

• A fracture or dislocation
• A severe overuse or soft tissue injury
• Symptoms that worsen with movement
• A condition requiring temporary immobilisation

What Treatment May Involve

• Immobilisation in a safe healing position
• Ongoing monitoring of healing progression
• Timely removal and transition into rehab
• Collaboration with your medical team

Why It Matters

• Protects healing structures
• Reduces risk of further damage
• Maintains tissue alignment
• Sets up better outcomes post-immobilisation i.e. quicker and more effective rehab

Once healing allows, we shift focus to movement, strength, and flexibility to restore full function.

InSync Insight

Protect first. Rebuild properly.

Conditions We Commonly Support

• De Quervain’s Syndrome
• Trigger finger
