Our physio team has several special interests and treatment modalities to suit our client’s needs. Physiotherapy is a manual, hands-on therapy designed to help clients with their physical rehabilitation and to assist with the healing process.
Physiotherapists are involved in the whole process of injuries from identification/diagnosis up to full recovery and return to the highest level of function/sports performance after disuse, overuse, surgery, injury, and illness.
Physiotherapists are first-line practitioners (you don’t need a referral to see a physio) and treat injuries and dysfunction of muscle, fascia, joints, ligaments, and scar tissue as well as problems relating to the nervous system.
Our focus is on identifying the source/s of pain and dysfunction and to use the most appropriate techniques to resolve the problems:
- Movement and Posture assessment and Correction,
- Pain Neuroscience Education,
- Nervous System Regulation,
- Myofascial release,
- Dry needling,
- Therapeutic exercise (stretching, strengthening, balance),
- Manual therapy such as massage, joint, and neural mobilisations,
- Electrotherapy.
Sensamove®
AP Therapists also offer Sensamove® which is a fun interactive, bio-feedback, balance training technology. It aids in developing a person’s balance preventing falling, better sports performance, and rehabilitation by improving proprioception.
HeartMath®
Integral to AP Therapists ethos is working in a holistic way where the body and mind are taken into consideration during treatment and rehabilitation. Research has shown that by learning a quick and easy, self-regulating technique based on bio-feedback, HeartMath® can help improve the body’s natural ability to alleviate pain and anxiety by resetting the body’s healing process.
