Advanced Techniques

  • Laser Therapy

    Photobiomodulation, also known as low-level laser therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses low-level lasers to promote tissue healing and reduce pain and inflammation. In physiotherapy, photobiomodulation has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, sports injuries, and muscle strains. It can also help improve range of motion, reduce recovery time, and enhance overall athletic performance. Photobiomodulation is a safe and effective treatment option for patients seeking a non-invasive approach to pain management and tissue healing.

  • Neck and Jaw Assessments

    Fit Physio utilises a specialised assessment based on the rocobado technique. This set of clinical tests can be used by your physiotherapist to assess and treat patients with neck and jaw pain or dysfunction. The tests are designed to evaluate a patients posture, range of motion, and muscle function in the neck and jaw. By identifying specific areas of dysfunction, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to address the underlying issues and improve your symptoms. Our assessments can be particularly beneficial for patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, as they help identify the root cause of the problem and develop a targeted treatment plan.

  • Muscle Activation

    Muscle activation is a treatment approach that aims to identify and correct muscle imbalances and poor muscle firing patterns in the body. The technique involves a series of tests that identify faulty movement patterns, imbalances and compensation patterns in the body. The results of each test inform a hands-on form of corrective myofascial and breath work that has dramatic and immediate results. Muscle activation can improve athletic performance, reduce the risk of future injuries, and enhance overall physical function, making it a valuable treatment option for many patients.

Exercise Rehabilitation

  • Therapeutic Exercise

    Fit Physio plays a critical role in rehabilitating patients after injuries and surgeries, such as knee and hip replacements, spinal surgeries, and sports injuries. This involves a range of physical exercises that help to improve joint mobility, flexibility, and strength and restore deficits identified in the assessment.

  • Posture Correction

    Posture correction is a common goal for many of our patients. Poor posture can lead to musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, and correcting it can help to improve overall physical function and quality of life. This involves exercises and stretches that help to correct poor posture habits and address malalignment issues.

  • Aerobic or Cardiovascular Exercise

    This type of exercise is crucial for improving cardiovascular health, endurance, and stamina. It also helps to improve blood flow, oxygen delivery to the muscles, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, cycling, swimming, and running.

Stretching

  • Passive Stretching

    Passive stretching is where you are completely relaxed and your therapist stretches your muscles without you actively engaging in the stretch. Your physiotherapist may use passive stretching to help improve muscle flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and increase range of motion if you have tight or stiff muscles or joints.

  • Active Stretching

    Active stretching is where you are actively engaged in the stretch, moving a joint through its range of motion. This technique can help improve flexibility, range of motion, and overall physical function. We may design a customized stretching program that targets specific muscles and joints based on your individual needs and goals.

  • Post Isometric Relaxation

    Post-isometric relaxation typically involves a patient generated muscle contraction, relaxation and then practitioner supported stretch. This sequence is repeated multiple times and is commonly used to release tension or muscle spasm. It is an effective technique for improving mobility in conditions such as back, hip and neck pain, and muscle strains.

Massage

  • Deep Tissue Massage

    This technique involves applying sustained pressure using slow, deep strokes to target the deeper layers of muscles and connective tissues. It is often used to relieve chronic muscle tension and knots, improve circulation, and reduce inflammation.

  • Myofascial Release

    Myofascial release involves the gentle, sustained stretching and massage of the fascia, the thin layer of connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, and organs. This technique can help relieve pain, increase range of motion, and improve muscle function.

  • Trigger Point Therapy

    Trigger points are areas of muscle fibers that are extremely sensitive and can be painful when touched. Trigger point therapy involves applying pressure to these points to release the tension and alleviate pain associated with headaches, neck and back pain.

Manuel Therapy

  • Joint Mobilisation

    This technique involves passive movement of a joint to help restore its range of motion, reduce pain, and improve joint function. The physiotherapist may use different grades of force to move the joint through its available range.

  • Soft Tissue Mobilisation

    Soft tissue mobilization techniques are used to address tight muscles, trigger points, and other soft tissue restrictions. The physiotherapist may use their hands or tools to apply pressure or friction to the affected area to help release tension and improve tissue mobility.

  • Manipulation

    Manipulation is a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust technique that involves a sudden and controlled movement of a joint to help restore its normal movement pattern. It is often used to address joint restrictions and is most commonly applied to the spine, although it can also be used on other joints in the body. This technique requires a high amount of skill and training to perform safely and effectively.

Strapping

  • Rigid Taping

    Rigid tape is a firm and non-elastic tape used in physiotherapy to provide support and stability to injured joints or muscles, reducing the risk of further damage during physical activity. It is often utilised in sports to prevent injuries and protect existing injuries. Common application sites are the ankle, knee, and shoulder joints.

  • Kinesio Taping

    Kinesiotaping is a taping technique that uses a thin, elastic tape to help support and rehabilitate injured muscles and joints. This tape is designed to mimic the natural elasticity of the skin and muscles, allowing for a full range of motion while still providing support. Kinesiotape can also help to increase circulation and reduce pain, idea

  • Postural Taping

    Postural taping can be incredibly beneficial for clients seeking improved alignment and posture. By utilizing specialized adhesive tape, we can provide targeted support and stability to the body, promoting correct alignment and posture. This technique can alleviate pain, enhance muscle activation, and reduce strain on joints, allowing clients to move with greater ease and efficiency.

Acupuncture / Dry Needling

  • Superficial Dry Needling

    This technique involves the insertion of needles into the skin, just below the surface, to stimulate the nervous system and promote healing. It is often used to treat acute injuries, inflammation, and chronic pain.

  • Trigger Point Dry Needling

    This technique involves the insertion of needles into trigger points in the muscles to relieve pain and improve muscle function. The needle is inserted and manipulated to elicit a "twitch response" from the muscle, which can help release tension and improve circulation.

  • Acupuncture

    This technique involves the insertion of thin needles into specific points on the body along the meridian pathways to balance the flow of Qi (energy) and promote healing. The Physiotherapist may stimulate the needles manually to enhance the therapeutic effects.
