INJURY ASSESSMENT

AND TREATMENT

THE PERFORMANCE PHYSIOTHERAPY APPROACH

At Performance Physiotherapy, our mission is to empower individuals to achieve their optimal physical performance and live their lives to the fullest. We are dedicated to providing exceptional physiotherapy services that reduce pain, restore function, and enhance overall well-being...

YOUR FIRST SESSION

Our Physiotherapists will ask you detailed questions about your problem, to find out how it started and how it is affecting your everyday life. This helps to plan a tailor made assessment comprised of movement analysis, manual assessment and other techniques to design a treatment plan.


Each treatment plan is unique to each individual, treating the cause of the problem, not just relieving the symptoms. It’s a good idea to bring some shorts and comfortable clothing so you can move in the easiest way possible while respecting your dignity.


Your Physiotherapist will explain the problem and what course of treatment is best suited to help you. This treatment may be in the form of exercise, rehabilitation, acupuncture, manual therapy (e.g. mobilisations to joints, trigger point release, manipulation) and many more methods of treatment
