At Edgecliff Physiotherapy, we offer HawkGrips® therapy, a specialised form of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation (IASTM) used to treat muscle and fascial restrictions. Using precision-designed stainless-steel tools, our physiotherapists gently glide over the skin to detect and treat areas of soft-tissue dysfunction.

This technique can help break down scar tissue, improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and restore mobility in injured or tight tissues. It’s commonly used for issues such as tendinopathies, sports injuries, chronic muscle tightness, and movement restrictions.

At Edgecliff Physiotherapy, HawkGrips therapy may be combined with manual therapy, exercise prescription, and movement retraining to support lasting recovery and better function.

Curious whether HawkGrips therapy could help you move more freely? Speak with our team to learn more.

Therapeutic taping (including kinesiology tape) is a drug-free, movement-friendly tool used in physiotherapy to support muscles, joints and movement patterns - without restricting your range of motion. When applied by a trained therapist, the tape gently lifts the skin and can help improve blood/lymph flow, reduce pressure, and provide proprioceptive feedback (your body’s sense of movement and position).

This makes taping useful for pain relief, reducing inflammation, helping muscle activation, supporting injured areas during movement, and even encouraging better posture or coordination.

At Edgecliff Physiotherapy, we use taping as part of your personalised treatment - whether you’re rehabilitating an injury or retraining movement patterns. A professional application ensures you get the best support for your goals.

At Edgecliff Physiotherapy, we offer cold laser therapy - a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses low-level light to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike surgical lasers, cold laser therapy does not generate heat. Instead, it penetrates targeted tissues to help reduce inflammation, ease pain and support cellular repair.

Cold laser therapy is used alongside other physiotherapy treatments to assist with conditions such as sprains, tendinopathies, arthritis and soft tissue injuries, as well as to support faster recovery. Sessions are painless, quick and require no medication or surgery, making it a safe and effective option for many people.

To find out whether cold laser therapy may support your recovery, speak with our team and book an appointment at Edgecliff Physiotherapy today.

If you find yourself constantly stretching “tight” muscles but experiencing little to no lasting relief, the underlying issue may not be flexibility at all.

Muscle tightness often develops due to inefficient movement patterns, suboptimal breathing mechanics or certain muscles compensating for areas that lack strength or stability. At Edgecliff Physiotherapy, we take a deeper, more holistic approach by asking: Why is the muscle tight in the first place? Through improved core control, postural awareness and better movement alignment, we help reduce unnecessary tension and restore balanced, efficient function. The result is meaningful, long-term improvement, not just temporary ease from stretching.

If persistent tightness is affecting your comfort or performance, book your assessment with Edgecliff Physiotherapy today.
