Our “Vibe”/Approach
Once you get to meet one of our sports Physiotherapists, expect a patient-centric approach to care that emphasizes manual therapy techniques and corrective exercise as core aspects of treatment. The main aims are restoring optimal physical function, preventing re-injury and improving your health in general.
Manual therapy involves the use of various evidence-based hands-on techniques to manipulate soft tissues (i.e. muscles, nerves) and joints to improve symptoms, general function and well-being.
Corrective exercise generally aims at optimizing human movement through physical exercise. In this case, exercise is used to tackle problems such as muscle imbalances and postural abnormalities causing faulty movement patterns and related symptoms.
