What is Involved in a Physiotherapy Session?

Your physiotherapist will assess how your body moves to help identify the underlying cause of your concern, and from there, develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual goals and lifestyle.

Depending on your needs, treatments may include:

Manual Therapy

Gentle manipulation of the muscles and joints may help to relieve discomfort and support improved mobility.

Exercise Programs

A tailored exercise programme may assist in building strength and improving flexibility.

Shockwave Therapy

Using high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy may help stimulate tissue and support the recovery process.

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

Using fine needles applied to targeted muscle points, dry needling may help address muscle tightness and assist in managing pain.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

Clinical reformer pilates may help you work toward better movement patterns while supporting your recovery over the long term.

You don’t have to let pain hold you back.

Can physiotherapy play a role in preventing injuries?

Physiotherapy isn’t just about addressing current injuries. It may also help you gain a better understanding of your body, support improved posture, and encourage more efficient movement patterns, which may help in reducing the risk of future injuries.

Can physiotherapy help me maintain a healthy, active lifestyle?

The potential benefits of physiotherapy extend beyond injury management. Regular physiotherapy may assist you in moving more efficiently, managing muscle tightness, and working toward better posture, all of which may support a healthier, more active lifestyle over time.
