What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is one way to improve your movement and feeling. It’s so much more than this!

Physiotherapy is not only a physical treatment. It is considered an art and a discipline that has evolved over many years.

Whatever type of injury you have, there are physiotherapy options that will support you feel in your best shape again.

There are many physiotherapy treatments that may suit you, such as dry needling, massage and joint mobilisation. We work together to find the best form of treatment that suits you. Remember, this is your body. You’re the one who controls it and we are here to support you manage it.

Your life can take on a new meaning by using physiotherapy. In time, this may enable you to truly live your life again in a manner that brings you joy. If you want to play sport, keep up with the grandkids, or enjoy walks with your dog, physiotherapy can help you!

No matter your age, condition, injury, or profession, physiotherapy can be a powerful tool to make the most of your mobility and well-being. Physiotherapy can be a powerful tool to get you back on the sports field, whether you are a student, an office worker, senior citizen or someone who is trying to achieve the highest level of success in your chosen profession.

A Pinch Of Prevention’s physiotherapists are driven people who want to support you achieve your best physical self. Our physiotherapists begin your treatment by performing a thorough assessment. This is followed by a tailored treatment regimen that incorporates our 4-step process, which includes Release, Re-educate, Reinforce and Retain.

Release: The primary muscular component of the joint that is causing dysfunction.

Re-Educate: Learn more about the biomechanics and musculature that control the movement you desire. This reduces pain/episodes associated with painful debility.

Reinforce: Strengthen the appropriate muscles to reduce the risk of future injury.

Retain: How do you hold your body during movement to allow you to perform the functions you need in order to move forward in life.

What to Look Forward To On Your Physio Appointment?

A variety of conditions can also be assisted by physiotherapists. Their goal is to make people’s lives easier and their bodies function better. We can work together if something seems ‘off’ or needs improvement.

An initial consultation involves a thorough assessment and informed diagnosis and treatment, which considers relevant symptoms and your medical history. There will no single treatment plan that is the same for every patient, regardless of whether they have the same conditions. There are many treatment options available and your physiotherapist should talk with you about them before you start 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 treatment such as electrotherapy, taping, hydrotherapy, and clinical Pilates. 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.
