Physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy can help to reduce and manage your pain anywhere from the onset of pain to the chronic stages. Physiotherapy can treat a broad spectrum of conditions and also aid in preventing injuries by screening for bio-mechanical dysfunctions. This is advantageous whether you are looking to be free of pain in your day to day life, a weekend warrior or a high-performance athlete experiencing recurring injuries. Screening allows us to rapidly locate where joints are inadequately mobile and areas of instability that may contribute to your discomfort and poor movement patterns.
Utilising an evidence-based practice with a combination of hands on treatment, postural education and a specific exercise program tailored for you contributes to improved pain free function and performance
Where does it come from?
