Physiotherapy is a treatment method that uses a hands-on approach. Physiotherapists manipulate the individual’s muscles and soft tissues using massages, stretches, and fascia releases. The goal of physiotherapy is to improve, restore, and maintain a person’s movement and function.
Our physiotherapists work with many types of injuries and disabilities. These can include musculoskeletal or neurological conditions. Anyone who’s dealing with functional or physical limitations is encouraged to get in touch with us.
Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy
Musculoskeletal physiotherapy is targeted at a person’s joints, muscles, movement, and posture. This type of physiotherapy helps to restore movement and function when it has been affected by an injury or illness. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy also helps promote health and wellbeing.
Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurological physiotherapy treats those who are affected by neurological conditions. These conditions are connected to the person’s central nervous system – the nerves, spinal cord, and brain. Those with these types of neurological conditions have problems with stiffness, muscle weakness, sensory changes, and balance issues.
There are many reasons why you might consider making an appointment with a physiotherapist. Some of these include:
- Reducing and managing your pain
- Maintaining and improving flexibility
- Rehabilitation after an accident or surgery
- Improving movement and coordination
- Injury management
- Assist you in becoming more independent with mobility and activities of daily living
Our highly trained physiotherapists take a collaborative approach when working with our clients. We take the time to get to know you and your body. Our staff develops personalised and unique plans that support our clients when achieving their goals.
Some of the services our highly skilled physiotherapists can offer include:
- Manual therapy
- Dry needling
- Focused rehabilitation
- Pain recovery
- Hydrotherapy
- Exercise prescriptions
- Home assessments
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
PNF is a stretching technique that physiotherapists use to improve a person’s muscle elasticity. This method involves holding, stretching, releasing, and contracting the target muscle area.
Stretches
Stretching is used to target a specific group of muscles, individual muscles, or nerves. It gets stretched in the opposite direction to improve its flexibility. The result of this method can be used to increase flexibility and muscle control.
Joint Manipulation
The joint manipulation technique utilises a passive movement to a joint. The method used is often called the ‘high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust manipulation.’This technique is effective for treating specific joints that aren’t right next to the spine.
Instrument-Assisted Mobilisation
Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilisation uses handheld instruments that break down fascial restrictions and scar tissue in your soft tissues. This includes your fascia, nerves, tendons, ligaments, and muscles. This technique can improve your blood flow and range of motion.
We treat many types of clients at Spinal Life Australia. While our treatment approaches differ from person to person.
Consultation
We recommend wearing loose clothing to all your appointments, including your initial consultation. Make sure that your physiotherapist has access to your injured area.
The goal of this first appointment is to get a comprehensive understanding of your physical condition, health, previous mobility, lifestyle, and goals. We’ll assess your movement capabilities and injuries. Our physiotherapists will use this information to create a personalised treatment plan.
Treatment
Your treatment plan can include a wide range of things depending on your needs and goals. You may be given ‘home programs’ by your physiotherapist to do outside of your scheduled appointments to improve your recovery timeline.
