Overview
What is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy refers to a range of treatments designed to address many different conditions throughout the body, with the goal of restoring mobility, function and quality of life.
To assist in the remediation of a patient’s issues, a Physiotherapist uses multiple treatment techniques to reach wellness goals.
What Will A Physiotherapy Treatment Include?
Your initial session with a PEAK Physiotherapist will involve your practitioner getting to know you and getting an understanding of what has brought you in.
Your Physiotherapist may then perform a physical examination to again build a further picture of what is going on and to assist with building a tailored treatment plan. Once completed, you and your Physiotherapist will work together to create a customised, realistic and achievable plan that works towards the goals that you want to achieve. Your Physiotherapist will then help guide you through this plan utilising a variety of treatment techniques that may include exercise, advice and education, manual therapy and much more. Following this you will be set up for success with a personalised exercise program and open communication to ensure you are supported throughout.
What is Physiotherapy Used For?
Physiotherapy is a popular treatment option for a range of conditions. For the most part, Physiotherapists are known to assist with musculoskeletal issues; that is problems relating to the muscular system and skeletal system. The most common of these would include low back, neck, knee and shoulder pain and or movement issues. These issues may be acute such as a fall or injury during sport or chronic such as an onset of low back pain over months. Physiotherapy is able to assist with both. Furthermore, Physiotherapy can help to optimise your mind and body by instilling both physical and mental resilience. This can range from running a marathon to being able to play with your children or grandchildren.
Physiotherapy is also able to help with other conditions that may not immediately spring to mind. These include neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and post stroke. It can assist in returning you to normal function post surgery with rehabilitation and can help prepare you for surgery to ensure you are able to recover quicker. Physiotherapists are also able to specialise in women’s and men’s health to help with issues such as incontinence. From helping with developmental issues in children to building resilience and function in the aging population a Physiotherapist can help you throughout your lifetime.
