What Does Physiotherapy Involve?

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

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

Exercise Programs

An individualised exercise programme may help support the development of strength and flexibility over time.

Shockwave Therapy

Using high-energy sound waves, shockwave therapy 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

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 assist in improving movement patterns and supporting your long-term recovery journey.
