injury recovery
Recovery physiotherapy starts as soon as initial treatment for your injury is complete and this significantly speeds up your full recovery.
Some people try to skip this phase just because their initial pain from their injury has gone, this can be a costly mistake. Research shows the combination of physiotherapy with quality rehabilitation can shorten the time off work and greatly improve your quality of your life after an injury.
The knowledge by our injury rehabilitation experts and the facilities we have being part of a gym is what gives us an edge, and sets us apart from other local physiotherapists, as we can provide a much fuller recovery.
Sports rehabilitation
For patients that are involved in sports, this phase represents the start of the conditioning process needed to return to sports training and competition. Understanding the demands of the particular sport becomes essential as well as communication with the coach.
This phase also represents an opportunity to identify and correct risk factors, thus reducing the possibility of suffering a re-injury. You will transition from general exercises to sport-specific exercises designed to replicate movements common in given sports.
It is essential that sports rehabilitation is sufficiently vigorous to prepare your injured tissue for the demands of your specific sport. One of the things that makes our rehabilitation better than other local sports physiotherapists is that you benefit from our fully equipped gym.
recovery after surgery
It is common for flexibility to be reduced after surgery as a result of pain, swelling, muscle guarding, or spasm; and shortening of connective tissue and muscle; or some combination of these factors.
Therapeutic exercises are often prescribed for helping people improve their range of movement (ROM) which can help eliminate pain or reduce dysfunctional movement (which can cause pain) and/or to restore normal functional movement to the area.
Restoring normal ROM is one of the primary goals of rehabilitation. Whether it's a joint, muscle, or bone injury, a quality rehabilitation can help you regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion to the affected area, either in our recovery physio sessions, at home or on the gym floor.
Reduce pain and discomfort
Injuries to body parts, such as the ankle, shoulder, wrist, knee, and foot, frequently trigger compensatory mechanisms that can lead to pain and discomfort in other areas. For example, ankle injuries can result in overcompensation in the hips and knees. This can manifest as hip pain due to altered gait patterns, shoulder injuries may cause strain in the upper back and neck, leading to a cascade of musculoskeletal issues.
Balanced recovery physiotherapy techniques are essential for restoring proper movement patterns and preventing overcompensation after an injury. Our specialised rehabilitation therapists can give you advice on the right type of exercise and activity to help you feel and move better so you can get back to your normal activities with ease.
Treated as an individual
Each person responds differently to the treatment phase of an injury and this also applies to the rehabilitation phase. Unique differences in your sustained injury, general body strength, and your body type can change your experience and response to different rehabilitation approaches.
By incorporating both gym-based exercises and home exercises, our injury rehabilitation experts can provide you with a wide range of equipment and resources necessary to address your specific needs. Your individual exercise plan ensures that you receive targeted rehabilitation, focusing on strengthening the affected area, improving mobility, and restoring function at a speed that suits you, and your specific goals best.
“I booked into Straight Back Physiotherapy after a long-term injury showed no signs of recovery. The team were great, getting to the root of the issue and putting me on a course of exercises which fixed the issue enabling me to get back on the bike.”
