Services
Conditions That We Treat
Sport or Gym Injuries
Injuries sustained during or following any sport can be assessed and further managed by physiotherapy.
Geriatric conditions
As we age so does our joints and muscles. The things that we were so easily able to do before become more difficult and sometimes painful.
Acute and chronic joint or muscular pain
Any joint or muscle discomforts following a recent injury, overuse or you are not quite sure of the cause.
Pre and post-operative care
Rehabilitation following your surgery is vital in speeding up your recovery. Physiotherapy before your surgery is just as important to prevent muscle wasting.
Respiratory conditions
Chest physiotherapy is essential to optimize your lung function following respiratory conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, or asthma to prevent further complications.
Neurological conditions
Symptoms that follow neurological conditions consist of muscle weakness and impaired movement. Following a detailed assessment, a specific exercise regime will be provided.
Temporomandibular disorder
Painful jaws caused from grinding and clenching your teeth can lead to jaw joint stiffness and difficulty opening your mouth. The physiotherapist can assist in loosening the muscles surrounding the jaw.
Headaches
Symptoms of tension headaches include discomfort in the face, neck, and shoulder area; sensitivity to light and load noises; and feeling of pressure behind the eyes. Physiotherapy provides you with the correct exercises to do and manual therapy.
Sinusitis
If you have been complaining of facial pain, nasal congestion, nasal discharge, throat irritation and coughing physiotherapy can help you. Treatment of sinusitis in the early stages facilitated drainage of mucous, reduces swelling and manages pain.
