In our pain education sessions, we delve into how pain works and provide practical tools to help you manage it with confidence.
Whether it’s recovering from a particular injury or easing general discomfort, physiotherapy offers support across many conditions. Our experienced team is ready to help, no matter how straightforward or complex it may seem.
Our physiotherapists may use a range of treatments depending on your condition, such as soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, tailored exercise programs, hydrotherapy, dry needling, electrotherapy, temperature-based therapies, and education.
Choose comfortable clothing that allows access to the affected body part, such as a t-shirt and shorts. You may be asked to move around during your appointment, so enclosed, comfortable footwear is also a good idea.
This varies from person to person, as it depends on the nature and severity of your condition. Some people also respond better to treatment than others. Your physio will be able to advise on the expected number of sessions and will work with you to gradually decrease their frequency.
Physiotherapy shouldn’t be very painful, though some discomfort may occur during treatment. It’s important to let your physio know if anything feels uncomfortable so adjustments can be made.
