What do we do?
Physiotherapists are the experts when it comes to musculoskeletal dysfunction. Physiotherapy is an evidence-based form of therapy to help resolve all your aches, pains, injuries & musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
Whether it be, for example, low back pain, headaches, a rolled ankle, orthopaedic surgery, work injury, a motor vehicle accident, sport injury or arthritis, the aim of physiotherapy is to help you to feel better again. A thorough examination is vital in determining the best form of therapy for every client. No 2 clients are the same. Treatment for each client is targeted to their needs and goals, that are first discussed and then assessed through a number of musculoskeletal tests. Our physiotherapists can then utilise a range of treatment techniques including joint and soft tissue mobilisation, massage e.g. trigger point and myofascial release, dry needling / Western Acupuncture, teaching exercise in the home or pool or gym, training better posture, training better techniques for activity, and giving the best advice on managing the problem.
The aim of physiotherapy is to have you moving and living better, free from any musculoskeletal restraints.
