How does it work?
Physiotherapy involves the use of manual (hands-on) techniques and specific exercise prescription to help you restore movement and function in areas that have been injured. It also involves the use of machines such as ultrasound to aid in healing, as well as ice, moist heat, and TENS to assist with pain control. Time is also spent educating each client about their specific injury and stage of healing, including advice on what "not" to do in order to prevent aggravation or further injury.
Massage therapy helps relieve areas of muscular tension and stored stress by getting deep into the muscular and fascial systems and restoring blood flow to areas of injury. Education on specific stretches and tension relieving strategies are often discussed.
Acupuncture improves blood flow to areas of injury, and stimulates the release of important natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body called endorphins. It uses individually sterilized small needles with rounded tips that glide into tissue painlessly. The needles are often manually stimulated by a therapist or by adding a TENS machine for added benefit.
