Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, chiropractic is concerned with the care of the entire body. Chiropractic focuses on addressing the source of your problem, not simply with treating symptoms.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person's skin at specific points on the body, to various depths. Research suggests that it can help relieve pain, and it is used for a wide range of other complaints.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM)
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation or Simply IASTM uses specially designed tools which enable clinicians to efficiently locate and treat individuals diagnosed with soft tissue dysfunction. IASTM is performed with ergonomically designed instruments that detect and treat fascial restrictions, encourage rapid localization and effectively treat areas exhibiting soft tissue fibrosis, chronic inflammation, or degeneration.
Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)
Shockwave therapy is an acoustic wave which carries high energy to musculo-skeletal tissues with sub-acute, sub-chronic and chronic conditions. Shockwaves interact with tissue causing overall medical effects of accelerated tissue repair and cell growth, analgesia and mobility restoration.

You remain completely clothed as you lay on a water filled mattress and relax as a series of hydro-jets massage away aches and pains. The heat relaxes you and the pressure of the water jets against your body soothes your aches and pains. All you need to do is lie back and relax. In as little as ten minutes, you will
Theragun

All it takes is 30 seconds per muscle group to improve muscle strength, flexibility, coordination, and performance.
