Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is the treatment of injury, disease or disability through physical methods including: manual exercise and education, joint and spinal mobilisation, soft tissue mobilisation, massage, heat treatment, dry needling, electrotherapy and clinical taping. These methods aim to reduce pain, improve mobility and assist the body’s healing process to enable a return to normal function. A holistic approach, or whole body approach, is used that involves the patients directly in their own care.
Physiotherapy can help people of all ages with a wide range of health conditions including problems that affect bones, joints and soft tissue.
Examples of different conditions treated:
- Spinal problems include slipped discs, sciatica, back pain, Sacroiliac joint problems, neck pain and stiffness, whiplash, headaches, nerve root irritation, causing altered sensation and pins and needles and pregnancy related pain or pelvic pain.
- Joint problems including: fractures, dislocations and subluxations pain, stiffness, swelling, clicking, giving way, clicking of the hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, wrist hands and feet and of the joints.
