PHYSIOTHERAPY
After a particularly heavy fall during a soccer match I dislocated my left elbow. When the swelling subsided from the original injury, I was unable to straighten my arm due to the serious damage to the ligaments surrounding the elbow and the build up of fluid in the joint. Due to the severity of the injury I was referred to a surgeon in Sydney, however both Kerry and the Surgeon were confident that continued physiotherapy would be able to repair the damage to the ligaments and break down the scar tissue to allow the elbow to straighten again. Through a combination of massage, ultrasound, acupuncture and strength exercises done at Shellharbour Health my elbow has continually straightened a bit further with each session, eliminating the need for surgery. I have been most impressed by the treatment I have received at Shellharbour Health, particularly in light of the fact that the injury I received was not a text book case, and that Kerry was willing to do additional research to find treatment techniques that had worked on similar injuries in the past.

MASSAGE THERAPY
I initially visited Shellharbour Health Inc due to pain associated with a chronic
neck injury I have had for over twenty years. Kerry gave me intensive physio treatment for the month and a series of exercises that continue to strengthen my neck and shoulder area. This has given me the ability to increase my strength in such a weak area creating far more reserve to everyday stressors. To ease my neck shoulder pain I receive regular acupressure massage from Cylina. This treatment has been instrumental in improving my quality of life. I have found acupressure to be extremely effective in providing pain relief and retraining my muscles to relax. Another positive outcome is that I have greatly reduced the amount of pain relief medication that I took before receiving acupressure treatment. I can honestly say that acupressure has been the most effective treatment I have experienced.

MASSAGE THERAPY
Having 3 bulging discs in my back I was always in a great deal of pain. After visiting Shellharbour Health I felt immediate relief from their massage therapy. Andy chose to try Lymphatic drainage as part of my therapy which was amazing. What I enjoyed most about Shellharbour Health was their willingness to accommodate my hectic lifestyle with appointments at a moment’s notice. They were always smiling and patient with me.
