How You Can Benefit From Physiotherapy

A variety of health issues can be addressed by physiotherapy. They are available to people at all stages of life and activities. Physiotherapy can be done in many ways, each with its own set of goals depending on the needs and desires of the patient.

Reduce Pain

Physiotherapists are skilled in many types of pain management.

Improve Movement

Stiffness and/or pain may lead to a reduced range of movement, which may have a negative impact on your life. Physiotherapy aims at improving your range of motion and maintaining joint integrity.

Assist in Healing

Our goal is to support you from the inside out. We can aid in reducing pain, improve mobility and manage any condition you might have.

Strengthening exercises are an important part of physiotherapy. To do this we support you to work the muscle which encourages its growth, and in time, increases its strength.

What To Expect From Your Physio Appointment?

Physiotherapists work with the musculoskeletal system, and are often recommended by GPs due to their ability to assist to reduce pain and stiffness. Physiotherapists also work with people with a variety of conditions, aiming to support their bodies to move better and get the most out of life. We can work together if something seems ‘off’ or needs improvement.

Initial consultations include a comprehensive assessment, informed diagnosis and treatment. This includes taking into account your medical history and relevant symptoms. Even if the patient has the same condition, no two treatment plans will be created the same. This goes to show that physiotherapy is all about you. Your treatment options can be varied and should be discussed with your physiotherapist before you begin treatment.

Your physiotherapist must develop treatment and management strategies that suit your condition and goals. You and your goals for physiotherapy are the focal points to the treatment.

Physiotherapists can use various techniques including manual therapy, dry needling, trigger points release, joint mobilisation and manipulation and muscular and myofascial relief. They may also recommend active treatments such as rebalancing exercises, clinical Pilates, orthotics, taping, hydrotherapy and electrotherapy. Whatever treatment your physiotherapist suggests, they have considered it thoroughly and fully believe that the treatment they recommend will assist you to reach your goals.
