What physiotherapy can help with

Work-related injuries: Work-related injuries can occur in both sedentary and physically demanding jobs, and include strained muscles, sprained ligaments, back pain, neck pain, posture problems, headaches, and migraines. We’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that reduces pain in the short term while also laying the groundwork for safer working in the future.
Rehabilitation: If you’ve had surgery and are currently on the mend, we can assist you in regaining mobility and safely rebuilding your strength.
Muscular imbalances: Muscular imbalances can be caused by repetitive movements, poor biomechanics, and insufficient physical activity. We’ll collaborate with you to identify the problem and create a treatment plan to correct the imbalance.
What physiotherapy can help with
We employ a multidisciplinary approach to therapy that includes physiotherapy, acupuncture, exercise therapy, and traditional Chinese medicine.
Here are a few ways we help get you moving again:
JOINT MOBILISATION
Joint mobilisation, also known as joint stretching, is a type of manual therapy that aims to restore range of motion to a restricted joint. It can also alleviate pain caused by decreased joint mobility. Joint mobilization techniques include
joint manipulation, mobility exercises, and muscle energy techniques.
MASSAGE THERAPY
Massage therapy, which can be used as a complementary or standalone therapy, is intended to relax the painful and tight muscles that contribute to pain. Our physiotherapists can reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and increase mobility by manipulating soft tissue in your body.
EXERCISE THERAPY
Exercise therapy is a structured program of physical activities designed to help you achieve specific therapeutic goals. We’ll recommend some exercises to help you regain function, reduce pain, and improve your body’s natural biomechanics.
DRY NEEDLING
This technique involves inserting fine needles into trigger points or tight muscles to relieve pain and muscle tension. The goal of dry needling is to target and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, such as the release of endorphins and the reduction of inflammation, to promote pain relief and improved function.
