Massage Therapy:
Physiotherapy incorporates hands-on techniques to alleviate pain, boost flexibility, and improve circulation. Therapists employ massage to target muscle tension, spasms, and injuries, aiding patients in recovery and mobility restoration. By reducing scar tissue, inducing relaxation, and complementing exercises, massage therapy facilitates the rehabilitation process.
Exercise Therapy:
Physiotherapy includes tailored exercise programs to enhance health, mobility, and rehabilitation, empowering patients in their recovery journey. Additionally, we can provide a home exercise program for continuity of care.
Dry Needling:
Dry Needling is the use of sterile, single use acupuncture needles to relieve muscle tensions and promote blood flow to the affected area. Needles are discarded into a sharps-box after use. The team of physiotherapists are qualified to perform dry needling as an adjunct to your treatment session. When indicated your physiotherapist will discuss with you its use and obtain consent, as well as a simple screening questionnaire, prior to performing dry needling.
Clinical Pilates:
Physiotherapists use Clinical Pilates to enhance core strength, flexibility, and posture, tailored to individual needs for rehabilitation and injury prevention. Emphasizing controlled movements and proper alignment, it reduces injury risk and addresses musculoskeletal issues like back pain and joint instability. Integrated into treatment plans, Clinical Pilates improves physical function and quality of life through education on body awareness and self-management strategies.
Equipment assessment and prescription:
Physiotherapists assess individuals' physical abilities and needs to recommend assistive devices, enhancing mobility, independence, and quality of life. Evaluation factors include strength, balance, and functional limitations to determine suitable equipment, such as mobility aids and adaptive tools for daily activities. The aim is to optimize safety and accessibility, promoting autonomy. Physiotherapists also provide education on equipment usage and maintenance for individuals' empowerment.
