Physiotherapy

During the initial visit our goal is to gain a full understanding of your complaints and form an accurate diagnosis. We start off our journey with an open dialogue. During this time, my focus is placed on getting an understanding of your complaints as well as goals and expectations. It also gives me the space to provide more insight into the steps I take within physiotherapy and how working together, we can achieve your desired outcomes. From here, we move onto the physical assessment. It's here where I take a detailed look at your movement patterns, joint range of motion, muscular strength & flexibility and nervous system function. Each injury tends to highlight its own set of specific symptoms, patterns and outcomes. Further special testing allows me to gain an in-depth understanding of the functional implications. Once I have gathered all the necessary outcomes we move onto the treatment aspect. During this portion I will create and start the framework to our treatment approach and provide you with an individualized home exercise routine that you can follow.

Follow up visits are centred around your progress and further development. The treatment approach differs greatly between each individual. Steps to your improvement start with building out mechanical restrictions you present with and pain management strategies. As things get easier and pain as well as movement improve, we progress to more strength, stability and endurance by means of exercise rehabilitation. As a general outlook, as the requirement for passive treatment dimensions, active rehabilitation loading increases. Whether it is return to sport, work or daily tasks we will assess your level of functioning and plan these steps in a safe and timely manner.

Physiotherapy is safe and a proven form of treatment for all ages and capable of treating a wide variety of injuries/pathologies. What ever your restriction is, make an appointment to see how we can help you improve.
