"hands-on" physiotherapy A detailed assessment to pinpoint the exact cause of your pain and more importantly the stiff joints or tight muscles that cause dysfunction causing pain will direct the appropriate treatment. Physiotherapists at All Care are experts in using their hands to help your stiff, sore joints and muscles loosen up so that your body can move freely again in balance. Massage Massage can accelerate the body’s healing and recovery process. It can relax tight or stressed out muscles. Deep tissue releases are used to lengthen overactive muscles that are creating excessive stresses on your joints leading to pain.
Joints are the moving links in your skeletal structure. They are meant to move freely. If they are restricted they will become irritated and cause pain. Your spine is made up of lots of moving parts like the links in a bicycle chain. If your spine has a stiff link it will cause dysfunction leading to a pain. A detailed ‘hands on” assessment will pinpoint the right level or link of your spine that is restricted. Joint mobilisations are specific techniques that gently move and stretch the stiff joints. Gentle manipulation of a stiff joint can also be used to get your joints moving again. Effective stretches Tight stiff muscles need to be targeted by specific stretches to be effective. At All Care Physiotherapy, you will receive the right stretches to help you recover fast. Specific rehabilitative exercise A detailed assessment will pinpoint the specific exercise programme you will need to get better. At All Care Physiotherapy, we use the latest specific exercise based on research and often use a Diagnostic Ultrasound to image and teach you to exercise the right muscles to help you improve. Clinical Pilates Pilates is a unique form of exercise that concentrates on
strength, stability and flexibility. All Care Physiotherapy uses
specialised equipment which uses spring resistance against whole
body movement. Exercises are progressed on the machines to
incorporate positions utilising an unstable base leading to
greater core body stability. Post surgery rehabilitation All Care Physiotherapy has had over 15 years experience rehabilitating patients with orthopaedic surgery. We work with Brisbane’s leading surgeons at the Brisbane Private Hospital to provide comprehensive rehabilitation care starting post surgery in hospital through to your full recovery. We work with your surgeon and know the surgeon’s protocols so we can maximise your recovery safely. We have a rehabilitation gym complete with Pilates to help you get on your feet faster. Ergonomics assessments Neck, back, shoulder and arm pain are common complaints experienced by office workers due to static and repetitive postures at work particularly using the computer. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that treating the problem is important but assessing what poor habitual postures at the worksite that contributes to the problem will improve the patient’s recovery. We can come to your worksite, assess your workstation and recommend any changes to it and any ergonomic accessories that may be appropriate to improve your working posture. Postural assessments Posture is defined as the alignment of your skeletal structure. Optimum alignment results in less stress on muscles, ligaments and joints. At All Care Physiotherapy, we can assess your posture and give you advice on how to achieve the optimal posture so you can decrease further stress on your body. Pre employment screening Different occupations need different physical capabilities. All Care Physiotherapy can perform a pre employment screening to assess a future worker’s physical capability for any role within an organisation. Sports screening Injuries can be heart breaking to a person who is looking to succeed in a particular sport or physical event. At All Care Physiotherapy, we know that providing a sports screening assessment will limit any injuries that may occur. Our Physiotherapists can assess joint range, muscle length, strength, coordination as well as functional skills necessary for a particular sport and provide the necessary specific exercises to rectify the problem.
