Injury Rehabilitation
An initial assessment will diagnose problems associated with injury and determine appropriate response and corrective treatment. Depending on the diagnosis one or more of the following treatments will be employed to decrease pain and speed recovery
Electrotherapy:
Used to decrease pain, reduce inflammation, increase circulation and break down scar tissue.
Exercise Therapy:
Specific exercises will be introduced to aid recovery and strengthen injured areas.
Sports Massage:
A sports massage focuses on manipulation of soft tissues including muscles, ligaments and tendons. It benefits the participants of sport and exercise in general by easing tightness and stress.
Acupuncture:
Originating from China, dates back 3ooo years and is the practice of inserting solid sterile needles into the body at particular points to help relieve pain and promote healing
Its foundations lie within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); a holistic concept of treatment and recognition that the body has the ability to return to a balanced state of health and repair itself, given the correct stimulus
TCM believes Qi (energy) flows freely within the body when one is in a healthy state. If there is a problem, Qi becomes stagnant. The stimulation of appropriate acupuncture points is believed to free this stagnation, restoring the energy balance within the body thus resolving problems
Today, acupuncture is widely used in the Western world, with current evidence supporting its analgesic (pain relieving) effects by stimulating the nervous system to produce its own natural painkilling substances
As therapists, we tend to use acupuncture to compliment the whole treatment package provided for our patients following a comprehensive individual assessment
