What is Involved in a Physiotherapy Session?

Through careful assessment of your movement and function, your physiotherapist may identify the underlying cause of your concern and create a personalised treatment plan to suit your goals and lifestyle.

Depending on your needs, treatments 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 tailored exercise programme may assist in building strength and improving flexibility.

Shockwave Therapy

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

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Sound waves applied to the affected area may help support tissue recovery and assist in managing inflammation.

Dry Needling

Dry needling uses fine needles applied to targeted muscle points in an effort to release tight muscles and reduce pain.

Clinical Reformer Pilates

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

Pain doesn’t have to hold you back.
