Physiotherapy treatment involves many elements to ensure you get the results you want. Treatment involves assessment, goal setting, diagnosis, education and advice, hands on treatment and exercise rehabilitation.

Assessment

Helps to diagnose your issue as well as establish a baseline to build on and to assess progress.

Determine pain provocation, deficits in movement, strength or stability, current exercise loading and technique.

Goal setting

Establish what is important to you, what you want to achieve and by when.

This helps us with setting up an individualised treatment plan.

Diagnosis

Determine the structure that is causing pain or restriction as well as what is causing this structure to become an issue.

This may be simple in an acute injury, but more complex in an overuse condition.

Education and Advice

Strategies to manage pain, promote healing and modify exercise.

Long term management of chronic issues, changing habits and preventing future issues.

Hands on treatment

Combination of techniques to reduce pain and improve function.

May include soft tissue release, joint manipulation, dry needling, bracing or taping.

Exercise rehabilitation

Improve the limiting factors found in your assessment that are the cause of your issue.

May include exercises for strength, mobility, joint stability and improving movement quality, biomechanics and technique.
