Dry needling
Dry needling is a modality that has been found to be successful in relieving trigger points. Not to be confused with the oriental practice of acupuncture, dry needling is being used successfully by physiotherapists who are suitably trained in this technique.
Exercise and stretching programs
Exercise and stretching form an integral part of most rehabilitation programs. Exercise helps to increase energy and range of motion, strengthen the muscles, bring blood to the extremities and improve cardiovascular health.
Joint mobilisation
When joints become dysfunctional as a result of trauma, overuse or disuse, they are unable to perform the movements for which they were designed.
Manipulative therapy
Manipulative therapy is the term used for special handling techniques to promote healing of soft tissue. It has its roots in the early years of physiotherapy when it was used as a means of promoting healing and relieving pain.
Lumbar stabilisation
Lumbar stabilisation is an active form of exercise in which the patient is taught to find his/her "neutral spine" position and maintain it subconsciously.
Massage therapy
For centuries people depended on massage to improve circulation, ease aches and pains and promote a sense of well being. Physiotherapists also use massage to deliver these benefits and more.
Pilates
Pilates is a form of non-impact exercise used by physiotherapists to treat a variety of conditions and injuries. Pilates may bring faster and better relief to those who are suffering from pain and limited range of motion due to impingement.
Soft tissue therapy
Soft tissue consists of the fascia, connective tissues, muscles, tendons, fat and organs that lie beneath the skin. When these become injured pain and decreased function are the result.
Strengthening exercises
Strengthening exercises are not only for body builders and athletes; they play a vital role in rehabilitation, fitness and general health.
Therapeutic exercise
Therapeutic exercise is a form of bodily movement aimed at correcting a physical impairment, restoring normal function and promoting a state of well being.
