CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Back Pain
Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal condition seen in Australia. Back pain can either be acute (24-48hr duration) subacute or chronic (greater than 3 months) and can be as a result of disc injuries, muscular spasm and facet joint sprains.
Neck Pain
Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal condition. Similar to back pain it is important to know what structures and positions are triggering pain, whether it be chronic neck pain, acute neck pain or whiplash.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder injuries are common especially in sports which require overhead movements such as surfing, swimming, baseball or weightlifting. There are many structures (muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone) which can cause pain in the shoulder.
Knee Injuries
The knee is a common joint which is injured in many sports such as AFL, rugby, running and martial arts. It is important to know which structure/s are affected with knee injuries whether it be ligament injuries, meniscus tears or tendon pain.
Muscle Strains & Ligament Sprains
Muscle strains and ligament sprains are common and it is important to diagnose the grade and then improve flexibility and strength, enabling a proper return to activities to help reduce risk of re-injury.
Sports Injuries
At Trident Movement we see a range of sporting injuries from sports such as running, rowing, baseball, martial arts, weightlifting, tennis and many more. Our aim is to get you back involved with your sport as soon as possible.

OUR SERVICES
Diagnosis of Condition
An accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal conditions through a detailed history and assessment. Allows us to educate and form a tailored management plan which is to your individual needs. Helping you to help yourself!
Chiropractic
Chiropractic encompasses a vast array of techniques from manipulation to soft tissue work to advice. The modern practice is focusing on the musculoskeletal system as a whole and addressing the biomechanics surrounding it.
Exercise & Rehabilitation
Exercise & Rehabilitation is important in the management of injuries and general health. We use individualised and progressive programs to help you build strength, improve flexibility and endurance.
Soft Tissue Therapy
Soft tissue therapy aims to alter muscle tone allowing an immediate change and tolerance to muscle stretch. This in combination with exercise and education aims to get you back moving.
Gait & Movement Analysis
Slow motion gait analysis is available in which often lower extremity patients commonly undergo if experiencing issues during training. It involves video capture of running patterns addressing multiple aspects to combat any dysfunction.
Dry Needling
Dry Needling uses acupuncture needles to unload local muscle tissue by creating a micro-inflammatory response and neuro-modulation of tone. This essentially can lower the firing rate of contraction and reduces muscle tension.
