Physiotherapy is a form of “hands-on” manual therapy used to aid in the rapid recovery and rehabilitation from all forms of injury, sports related or otherwise.
In addition Physiotherapy can be used to maintain your body to its optimum state which can enhance your performance during sport and also aid in reducing the chances of and even preventing a re-injury.
Physiotherapy treatment is usually quite gentle and is very safe. Techniques we commonly use are:
Joint mobilisation Soft tissue massage Trigger point therapy Ultrasound TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) Combined with home based stretching and strengthening exercises All of the above techniques allow your joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons to function better.
