Pain
Musculoskeletal pain is pain that affects the muscles, ligaments and tendons, and bones. At Cosmetique, we have years of experience in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions.
Headaches and Migraines
Treatment of stiffness and tension in the joints and muscles has been shown to help with migraines and tension type headaches and reduce the need for medication.
Back
Pain
Physiotherapy for low back pain includes guided therapeutic exercises that strengthen the low back muscles and condition the spinal tissues and joints.
Geriatrics
Our Physiotherapists have extensive experience working with the elderly. We understand that providing physiotherapy to older people will often require that we deal with a mixture of conditions.
Respiratory Conditions
Assessment and treatment of people with disorders of the lungs and surrounding structures, such as pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis.
Neck
Pain
Manual techniques such as massage and joint mobilisations are used to help loosen up the stiff joints and tight muscles, which thereby helps to alleviate pain.

Sprains, strains, fractures, post-surgery and repetitive injuries on the musculoskeletal system. The areas of the body include the neck and back as well the extremities.
