What is Physiotherapy?

A treatment technique addressing the musculoskeletal systems of the body. When we get an injury or pain disorder, our body is in a state of imbalance and measures must be taken to restore that balance. Your physiotherapist will use a variety of hands-on techniques and exercise therapy to get you back to normal and in your optimal condition.

Your physiotherapist is skilled in a number of areas from soft tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, stretching, strengthening, postural alignment, core stability and exercise prescription.

The benefits of Physiotherapy:

If you have had an injury to joints or muscles, your physiotherapist will be assisting in your recovery.

Receiving physiotherapy will speed up your return back to normal by:

  • Massaging tissues to assist their healing capability and mobilising.
  • Using TENS and ultrasound to aid in the healing process.
  • Stretching and mobilizing joints so that they are at their optimal functioning level.
  • Helping you to retrain postural muscles that may be weakened and hindering your recovery.
  • Helping you to retrain movement patterns that may be dysfunctional.
