What Can You Expect From Physiotherapy?

By looking at how your body moves, your physiotherapist may identify the underlying cause of your concern and tailor a treatment plan to suit your goals and lifestyle.

Your treatment plan may include:

Manual Therapy

Through gentle manipulation of muscles and joints, manual therapy may help reduce pain and work toward improving your mobility.

Exercise Programs

A personalised exercise programme designed around your needs may help you work toward greater strength and flexibility.

Shockwave Therapy

shockwave therapy delivers high-energy sound waves to targeted areas, which may help stimulate tissue and assist in supporting your recovery.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

By directing sound waves at the affected area, therapeutic ultrasound may help support the recovery process and assist in reducing inflammation.

Dry Needling

Dry needling involves the application of fine needles to targeted muscle points, which may help release muscle tension and assist in reducing pain.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

Clinical reformer pilates may assist in improving movement patterns and supporting your long-term recovery journey.
