Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is proven to assist in the management of musculoskeletal pain and injury and post-operative rehabilitation. Physiotherapists can also assist in pre-operative rehabilitation, which may improve surgical outcomes.

Physiotherapy can:

• Reduce joint stiffness
• Increase mobility and flexibility
• Facilitate the repair of tissue damage in acute injury
• Manage and reduce pain in the prescription of oral opioid analgesic therapy
• Improve recovery from injury or trauma
• Rehabilitate conditions such as vertigo and balance-related problems
• Rehabilitate the pelvic floor

This is an important and often difficult question to answer because we are all different. Some people prefer chiropractic spinal manipulation over soft tissue therapy. Others fear spinal manipulation and reap greater benefits from soft tissue therapy. In immediate post-operative care cases, clients are encouraged to first see a Physiotherapist.

Although Physiotherapists and Chiropractors work differently, they have a common goal to reduce pain, restore function, and prevent recurrence.

Clinical Pilates differs from Pilates in that it is instructed by an allied health practitioner such as an Exercise Physiologist, Physiotherapist, or Chiropractor who holds a Bachelor of Science in their field. Clinical Pilates brings additional elements of clinical knowledge to the practice.
