WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY?
Physiotherapy is a science-based healthcare profession that promotes recovery in illness, injury, pain or disability. We take a whole person holistic approach to every client, we do not see only an injury but a whole person who has different needs, expectations, experiences and preferences. We get to know you on a personal level and fully understand what you need and tailor our programme to suit you.
Physiotherapy involves different options ranging from passive modalities (massage, dry needling, muscle energy techniques, electrotherapy) which are used to reduce pain and improve your muscles ability to move pain free. This is usually given with some gentle exercises to allow you to begin to take control of your issue. Once confident and your pain has reduced you will then begin to strengthen the identified areas, this will be in the gym and also a tailored home programme which needs minimal equipment.

What To expect in Physiotherapy Appointment?
An initial assessment at Resilient Rehab will involve a comprehensive detailed history of your lifestyle, your current issue, how it is affecting you, and what your specific goals are. Next step is to complete a specialised whole body physical examination which will help us understand what the current issue is, what could be contributing to it and what the next steps in rehabilitation will involve.
A typical physiotherapy session here at RR will involve some form(s) of treatment (massage, dry needling, myofascial release, device assisted percussion and electrotherapy) in addition to a personalised home exercise programme tailored to your needs. As you get stronger, fitter, more robust and resilient the emphasis will be on increased conditioning work gearing to return to your sport/ activity.
Although we sound very ‘sporty and rehab focused’ we acknowledge your aim may be to be pain free for work, do the gardening or to play with your grandchildren, and will tailor your rehabilitation programme for this.
Along the rehabilitation process you will be given advice, guidance and the tools empowering you to take care of your own health and know what to do in the future if a similar situation would arise.
