Physiotherapy deals with restoring and maintaining functional movement, reducing pain and promoting health in individuals. Physiotherapists are extensively trained in manual therapy which means we are hands on with our patients. This may include massage and joint mobilization as well as muscle stretching which we achieve using a wide variety of techniques. We make use of different modalities to reduce pain and inflammation including hot packs, ice, TENS, E-stim, ultrasound, short wave diathermy and laser treatment. Physiotherapists are highly trained in exercise prescription and often give our patients exercises to do at home to help resolve their conditions.
As physiotherapists, we treat a variety of conditions including:

1. Spinal pain and injuries (e.g. disc prolapse)
2. Sports injuries (e.g. ligament tears)
3. Fractures (e.g. broken arm)
4. Musculoskeletal problems (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome)
5. Post-surgical rehabilitation (e.g. following a knee replacement)
6. Biomechanical problems (e.g.flat feet)
7. Arthritic conditions (e.g. osteoarthritis)
8. Neurological disorders and diseases (e.g. stroke)
9. Cardiothoracic conditions (e.g. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorders)
10. Pediatric conditions (e.g. cerebral palsy)

Benefits
Improve strength, range of motion, endurance and to correct postural and muscle imbalance, joint mobilization, soft tissue massage and stretching to reduce stiffness and to relieve pain, muscle re-education and control, rehabilitation of fine and gross motor skills, improving daily function, regaining strength and flexibility, learning how to perform safe transfers, restoring and improving gait and training in the use of mobility aids, reduce spasticity and deformity, improving postural control, teaching children how to use assistive devices and to maximize the child’s functional independence. We will also educate the family so they can help what the child has learned during therapy session.
