What makes RTP the best choice?

Pain-free living, not endless appointments.

We want you to live pain-free, not have to come back every week for a treatment. Our goal is to find the root cause and fix it for good, not just give temporary relief to a symptom.

Get treated in your very 
first session for fast relief.

Whilst most clinics use the first 1 - 2 appointments for discussions, we help you right away. After a brief assessment, we start treating your condition right away so you can get relief fast.

Full access to Human Mechanics gym.

Go straight from the treatment room into our high-performance gym where you’ll be shown exactly what to do and how to do it to make sure you get the best results, wherever you work out.

What to expect in your session

Discussion — A brief chat about the issue, how long it’s been happening and your lifestyle.

Physical Assessment — A series of movements so we can identify the root cause and triggers.

Recovery Plan — A personalised treatment plan to help you fix the issue for good.

Treatment — Hands on treatment including active release, dry needling and more for fast relief.

How we treat your condition.

We use a range of techniques depending on what’s best for your situation. Here are some of the most common ones.

Active Release Technique

ART involves shortening and lengthening the muscle under pressure to break up scar tissue and muscle tightness. Think of it as a combo of massage and stretching. It’s very effective 
and satisfying.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is fantastic for reaching those hard to reach spots. The muscle will often ‘twitch’ to release tension and help with healing. Think of it like a super deep massage. Don’t worry, the needle doesn’t hurt.

Exercise Therapy

Treatment is satisfying for short term relief — but unless you fix the root cause, the pain will keep coming back. We’ll give you a series of simple exercises to strengthen weak areas and create a pain-free body for life.

Cupping, Taping & More

We can also help with cupping, scraping, taping, exercise physiology and a range of other techniques to suit your needs. We may also give you resistance bands or trigger balls to help with recovery at home.
