What Can You Expect From Physiotherapy?

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.

A range of treatment options may be used, including:

Manual Therapy

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

Exercise Programs

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

Shockwave Therapy

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

Therapeutic Ultrasound

Targeted sound waves applied to the affected area may assist in supporting recovery and 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

Through guided movement on the reformer, Clinical reformer pilates may help support improved movement patterns and long-term recovery.
