How Does Physiotherapy Work?

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.

Your treatment plan may include:

Manual Therapy

Soft manipulation of the muscles may assist in relieving pain and supporting greater ease of movement.

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

Clinical reformer pilates may help improve movement patterns and support long-term recovery.

Living with pain doesn’t have to be your only option.
