What to Expect from Your Physiotherapy Treatment
We donāt believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Your body, lifestyle and goals are unique, and your physiotherapy plan should reflect that.
Step 1: Understanding Your Body
Your first session is all about getting to the root of the problem. We take time to listen, assess your movement and understand the factors contributing to your pain or injury. Weāll discuss:
- Your symptoms ā When did they start? What makes them better or worse?
- Your daily activities ā How does pain affect your work, hobbies or sports?
- Your movement patterns ā Identifying imbalances, weaknesses or restrictions.
- Your goals ā Whether itās getting back to running, lifting pain-free or simply enjoying daily life without discomfort.
Step 2: Hands-On Treatment and Immediate Relief
Our physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy and movement-based treatment to help reduce pain and improve mobility. This may include:
- Joint Mobilisations ā Improving movement in stiff joints.
- Soft Tissue Release ā Reducing muscle tension and promoting healing.
- Exercise Therapy ā Targeted rehab exercises to strengthen weak areas.
- Taping and Supportive Techniques ā If needed, to aid recovery.
- Education and Self-Management Strategies ā So you know what to do between sessions.
Step 3: Building Strength and Long-Term Resilience
Relief is important, but real progress comes from rebuilding strength and confidence in movement. We guide you through tailored rehab and strength training to prevent re-injury and keep you moving pain-free.
Depending on your needs, your treatment may also include:
- Sports Rehabilitation ā For athletes returning to performance.
- Postural and Ergonomic Advice ā For office workers and those with chronic pain.
- Balance and Fall Prevention ā For older adults looking to maintain independence.
- Pilates and Movement Coaching ā For core strength and joint stability.
Youāll leave not just feeling better but knowing exactly what to do to stay pain-free.
