ONE-ON-ONE PHYSIOTHERAPY SESSIONS

 

30 minute appointments with our Physiotherapists where a  detailed history of your condition is taken followed by a thorough examination involving specific tests to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

HYDROTHERAPY

 

Hydrotherapy is a specific Physiotherapist supervised treatment and exercise program, conducted in a heated pool. The heated water encourages stiff muscles and joints to relax while the bouyancy of the water takes the load off the bearing joints allowing them to be exercised painlessly. Hydrotherapy is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Rehabilitation exercises are performed in a pool where less stress is placed on the body. Hydrotherapy is particularly useful for post-operative rehab, after periods of immobility or for arthritic type conditions.

ELECTROTHERAPY

 

A range of modalities are used which introduce energy into the tissue to stimulate a specific response. Types of electrotherapy used are Ultrasound (U/S), Interferential, TENS, Low Intensity Pulsed U/S.  These machines have been shown to be particularly useful during the acute phase of treatment.

DRY NEEDLING / ACUPUNCTURE

 

Dry Needling involves multiple advances of a fine filament needle into the muscle in the region of a “Trigger Point’. The aim of Dry Needling is to achieve a local twitch response to release muscle tension and pain. Dry needling is an effective treatment for chronic pain of neuropathic origin with very few side effects. This technique is unequalled in finding and eliminating neuromuscular dysfunction that leads to pain and functional deficits.
