Our Services

Service 01

Acupuncture

Frederick Court is a fully AHPRA registered acupuncturist holding a Bachelor of Health Sciences. He practises across four distinct traditions: Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, and contemporary integrated approaches. He draws on whichever style best suits each client’s presentation.

Acupuncture involves stimulating specific points on the body to work with the flow of energy (Qi), promote circulation, and engage the nervous system. It is used across a broad range of presentations and is part of an evidence-informed approach to healthcare in Australia.

Fred commonly works with musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain, headaches and migraines, anxiety, digestive issues, sinus conditions, women’s health presentations, and a broad range of internal conditions. If you’re unsure whether acupuncture may be appropriate for your situation, call and describe what’s going on.

Therapeutic Massage

Lynne Thompson has over 30 years of experience as a therapeutic massage therapist. Her skill set spans a wide range of techniques, and she draws on each according to what the client needs in that session, whether that’s deep pressure, gentle fascial work, or targeted myofascial release.

Lynne is particularly known for her ability to locate areas of tension and dysfunction without being directed to them, a quality that comes from decades of hands-on clinical experience. Her work is focused, precise, and grounded in genuine care for each client’s outcome.

Modalities Lynne offers include therapeutic massage, deep tissue massage, shiatsu, fascia and flinchlock release, lymphatic drainage, postural alignment, and pregnancy care. Sessions are tailored and not rushed. Typically 60 to 90 minutes depending on your needs.

Therapeutic massage is well suited to people carrying chronic muscle tension, occupational strain, postural problems, or stress-related physical tightness. It is also used alongside acupuncture for people presenting with complex musculoskeletal or pain conditions.

Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-acupuncture is a precise extension of traditional acupuncture in which a mild electrical current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. The frequency and intensity of the stimulation can be controlled to produce specific therapeutic effects, ranging from gentle nervous system regulation to strong muscular stimulation for pain relief.

The electrical stimulation enhances the effect of needle stimulation and can be sustained for longer periods than manual needle manipulation alone. This makes it particularly valuable for chronic or stubborn conditions that have not responded fully to other approaches.

Fred uses electro-acupuncture for chronic pain conditions, nerve pain (including sciatica and post-surgical neuralgia), facial paralysis, musculoskeletal injury, and in sports rehabilitation contexts where enhanced tissue stimulation is required. It is also used alongside standard acupuncture as part of a comprehensive treatment approach.

Cupping

Cupping is a traditional therapy in which cups are placed on the skin and suction is created, either through heat (fire cupping) or a mechanical pump, drawing the superficial tissue upward. This produces a reverse-pressure effect that decompresses the underlying muscle and fascial layers, promoting circulation to areas of congestion and tension.

The temporary marks cupping can leave are not bruises; they indicate areas of stagnation in the tissue and resolve within a few days. Many clients find cupping deeply relaxing despite its dramatic appearance, as the decompression effect releases tension in a way that compression-based massage cannot replicate.

Cupping is commonly used at BodyWise Solutions alongside acupuncture or massage for back pain, shoulder and neck tension, respiratory congestion, fatigue, and recovery from physical exertion. It is a valuable addition to any treatment session where deep muscular tension is present.

Service 05

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a technique in which a fine acupuncture needle is inserted directly into a myofascial trigger point, a hyperirritable spot within a taut band of skeletal muscle that can produce both local pain and referred pain patterns elsewhere in the body. The needle stimulates a local twitch response, releasing the trigger point and restoring normal muscle function.

Unlike traditional acupuncture, which is guided by meridian theory and energetic diagnosis, dry needling is informed by a contemporary anatomical and neurological framework. In practice, Fred integrates dry needling as part of a broader treatment approach rather than as a standalone technique.

Dry needling is commonly used for chronic muscular tension, referred pain patterns, post-injury scar tissue, and muscles that remain tight and symptomatic. It is a precise technique that is often used when other approaches have not achieved the desired result.
