Injury Therapy Services

body4life Injury Therapy services include:

• Consultation & injury assessment: Your assessment begins with a detailed case history, together with appropriate functional tests to ascertain precisely the nature of your condition.

  • Removing the waste by-products of exercise and activity
  • Realigning damaged muscle fibres
  • Breaking down scar tissue
