Initial Assessment

The process of initial assessment relies on a thorough subjective assessment of the history of the complaint and the present condition before the objective assessment can begin. Objective assessment relies on pain provocation testing to determine the causes of pain. These tests are used to form a treatment plan with your goals in mind.

Physiotherapy for multiple body areas

Many complaints left untreated will cause a degree of compensation in movement and function, and can create secondary problems. Often it is the secondary problem that brings a person to seek assistance. 

If you have multiple body areas that need treatment, you may need a longer session to feel the benefits. 

It is advisable that you begin your treatment with a longer session so that you can receive thorough exercise instruction and self-care advice without compromising the time spent on manual interventions. 

Physiotherapy Package

Any long standing complaint of 10weeks or more, is likely to take some time to resolve. Most complaints begin to improve after the first few sessions, but are unlikely to fully resolve in less than 6 sessions. 

The Aim of treatment is to have achieved a level of self-management after 6 weeks, where you would not need further treatment.

This is a good point to evaluate treatment goals, what has been achieved and what is left to do. Sometimes the goals change for a more ambitious result, but everyone is different and must decide whether they have further treatment goals to pursue.

Massage Therapies

Many complaints require intermittent attention to prevent a problem reoccurring. In the case of spinal injuries, surgeries or muscular complaints, a regular check up and targeted massage can improve the long term benefits of treatment, and help you to progress your tolerance to aggravating factors (like work, sports etc) where repetitive action across specific muscle groups is required often.

Deep Tissue Massage

Sports and muscular injuries to large muscle groups often require a more invasive deeper massage treatment to prevent tightening around scar tissue. 

This is also helpful to athletes  preparing for events, and can speed up post event recovery.
