Following a thorough assessment you can expect treatment combining some or all of the treatment options described here.
What to expect
Manual Therapy
Manipulation and mobilisation of joints to relieve stiffness and pain. The hands of the physiotherapist are used to mobilise (gently move) or manipulate (stronger movement) stiff or painful joints.
Muscle imbalance re-education
An assessment of muscle imbalance is undertaken followed by a program of exercises specific to you aimed at full recovery and prevention of further injuries. All parts of the body, including knees, back, neck, hips, wrists and elbows can be treated in this way. The treatment is concentrated on the injured areas.
