WHAT WE TREAT ——

Pain is the Signal

We find the Source

Most clinics treat the spot that hurts. We look at why it hurts - your movement, your nervous system, your history and fix the pattern, not just the symptom.

Back Pain and Sciatica

Disc injuries, nerve pain and chronic low back issues traced to their root cause through functional assessment
Neck Pain and Headaches

Cervicogenic headaches, tension patterns and postural dysfunction addressed through manual therapy and movement retraining.
Sports Injuries

From acute tears to recurring strains. Rehabilitation that gets you back on the field stronger, not just pain-free.
Chronic and Complex Pain

Long-term pain that hasn’t responded to standard treatment. We use DNS and neurological re-eduction to retrain the system.
Neurological Conditions

Complex movement disorders and post-neurological rehabilitation using advanced DNS protocols.
Shoulder, Hip and Joint Pain

Rotator cuff, labral tears, hip impingement, and joint instability rehabilitated with targeted manual therapy and progressive loading.

HOW IT WORKS ——

Three stages. One clear plan.

Every patient follows the same evidence-based pathway - adapted to your body, your goals, and your timeline.

Reset

Calm the system

Reduce pain, restore movement confidence, and get a clear diagnosis. This is where we listen, assess properly, & explain what's actually going on.

Comprehensive functional assessment
Pain reduction & nervous system down-regulation
Clear explanation - no jargon, no guesswork

Rebuild

Build real capacity

Once symptoms settle, we address the underlying dysfunction. Strength, motor control, and loading tolerance that prevents the problem from returning.

Progressive rehabilitation & loading
DNS movement pattern retraining
Breathing & stabilisation strategies

Perform

Beyond baseline

Feeling better is the starting line. If you want more sport, strength, resilience, we build you a body that doesn't just cope, it thrives.

Sport & lifestyle-specific programming
Long-term resilience & durability
Ongoing performance optimisation

People who’ve been through it.

Chiropractic & Rehabilitation

Chiropractic is so much more than a simple adjustment, at FORMA we implement soft tissue, adjustments, rehabilitation and neurological re-education to ensure you leave with the answers and treatment you need.
Osteopathy

Osteopathic care looks at how your joints, muscles, and nerves work together. It's useful for injury recovery, easing pain, and supporting overall health through gentle, focused treatment.
Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation

DNS helps retrain your movement patterns after injury. It’s aimed at building better control, improving balance, and supporting the way your body moves in daily life.
Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain isn’t just physical - it affects your energy, mindset, and quality of life. At Forma, we take a whole-body approach to long-term pain by combining clinical insight with proven rehab methods to address the true source of your discomfort.
Dry Needling

Used to relieve muscle pain and tight spots, dry needling can help with both fresh injuries and long-term issues like headaches, stiffness, or movement restrictions.
Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy helps reduce tension, manage injury pain, and support recovery. It’s also useful for sports injuries and ongoing tightness caused by posture or daily stress.
Optimising Sports Performance

We help athletes recover from sports injuries and move better using rehab, strength work, and hands-on care so you can train harder and stay on the field longer.
