Physiotherapy for Pain Relief and Recovery
Injury is a natural part of life, and at Physio Rehab Carlton, we are dedicated to helping you recover with expert physiotherapy and rehabilitation
Our skilled physiotherapists take a holistic approach, carefully assessing your condition to uncover the true cause of your pain. Sometimes, the source of discomfort isn’t where you expect—a tight hip could be affecting your foot, or an old childhood fall could be linked to your current lower back pain.
Injury is a natural occurrence in everyday life. Each physiotherapist is highly skilled in assessing your injury by asking lots of questions to help us work out the ‘puzzle’, carefully listening to what you have to say. Then we use a large array of assessment tools, helping us put together a diagnosis and find the ‘driver’ of your pain. You’ll be surprised this isn’t always as obvious as it seems because your whole body is connected. For example, the pain in your foot could be coming from your tight hip or the fall you had as a kid is related to your low back pain.
We then provide you with realistic time frames and together we come up with your short term and long-term goals. Our main goal is to relieve your pain, not only for obvious reasons but also it helps your exercise program be more efficient. This is because the pain unfortunately ‘inhibits’ the surrounding muscles to work at their optimum. Hence why exercises are an integral component of getting better and preventing the pain from returning.
We have many skills that get you to your goals, such as excellent hands-on skills, acupuncture, taping and a graded approach to your rehab. This involves the use of Real time Ultrasound and EMG biofeedback. By seeing what you are doing on the screen and which muscles are turning on, it takes the guesswork out of what will work and guides the program as you improve.
