Doctors

Physio are an important component in rehabilitation, treatment and prevention of acute and chronic conditions.  A physio uses a wide range of modalities to treat. Treatment can include manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, hydrotherapy, acupuncture and mechanical devices like ultrasound and tens machines.

Physiotherapy shouldn’t hurt and is completely safe. Physiotherapy often activates deep tissue, and it’s quite possible that there will be some soreness after a treatment session. Stretching and deep tissue work will often cause temporary soreness. It’s important to note that sometimes getting better requires some hard work.

Every situation is different. Some clients need no more than two or three visits to a physiotherapist. However, some clients such as stroke patients or those who have an acquired brain injury may see a physiotherapist for some years. The goal of every physiotherapist should be to eliminate the need for a client to see them. This means they need to provide professional and effective treatment that ensures a long-term solution to a client’s problem.
