Physiotherapy is the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the musculosketal and neural systems, where movement and function is affected by age or physical injury.
Physiotherapy encompasses movement analysis to achieve reduction in pain, restoration of normal movement and return of function.
Treatment will aid in prevention of complications, abnormal movement and help to reduce the risk of further injury.
Physiotherapy utilises many treatment techniques including:
- Mobilisation and manipulation of stiff and restricted joints.
- Nassage to aid reduction in muscle tension, restoration of normal muscle length and stimulate muscles to become more active.
- Exercies to improve muscle strength and stability.
Early access to physiotherapy services can improve outcome.
