Are you experiencing nagging pain that’s affecting your daily activities? Perhaps it has come on suddenly after exercise or its been slowly building for a while? Either way, pain is a sign from your body that it’s not happy and something needs to change. But with so many different services available (e.g. doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, osteopaths etc) it can be difficult to know who to go and see about your specific pain.
At Activate Health & Fitness our team of physiotherapists treat everyone from busy Brisbane City office workers, to professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts for common painful conditions every day. Seeing a physiotherapist can be beneficial for managing pain, improving your mobility and even helping you to achieve longer term health goals.
In this post, we highlight some common conditions where physiotherapy can make a significant difference in your overall wellbeing.
Sports Injuries
Whether you’re an avid athlete or engage in occasional physical activities, sports injuries can occur at any level of fitness. From sprained ankles to muscle strains, a physiotherapist specialises in diagnosing and treating sports-related injuries. They will not only help alleviate pain but also provide rehabilitation exercises tailored to your specific needs.
Our sports physiotherapists are experts in sports injury prevention and rehabilitation who have worked with athletes and gym goers worldwide.
Chronic Pain Management
Chronic pain can significantly impact your quality of life, making even the simplest tasks seem unbearable. A physiotherapist can work with you to develop personalised treatment plans aimed at reducing pain and improving functionality. Through manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and education on self-management strategies, they empower you to take control of your pain.
At Activate Health & Fitness our chronic pain management services are designed to provide effective and compassionate care for individuals dealing with chronic pain.
Post-surgical recovery
After undergoing surgery or any medical procedure that affects your mobility and functionality, rehabilitation is crucial for regaining strength and restoring mobility. Physiotherapists play a vital role in post-surgical recovery by providing targeted exercises and hands-on therapies that promote healing while minimising scar tissue formation.
At Activate Health & Fitness, our pre and post operative rehabilitation services are designed to ensure that your surgical journey is as smooth and successful as possible. Our experienced physiotherapists are committed to helping you prepare for surgery, recover effectively, and achieve the best possible results. Schedule an initial consultation and start your journey towards optimised surgical care and recovery.
Rehabilitation after accidents or trauma
If you have experienced an accident or trauma resulting in physical injuries, a physiotherapist can help you regain mobility, strength, and functionality. They employ a wide range of techniques such as manual therapy, therapeutic exercises, and modalities to aid in your recovery journey.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders encompass various conditions such as sprains, strains, tendonitis, or bursitis that affect joints, muscles, ligaments or tendons. A skilled physiotherapist will conduct thorough musculoskeletal assessments to identify the root cause of your condition and develop personalised treatment plans that address specific musculoskeletal issues effectively.
Whether you’re recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, struggle with posture or you are seeking to improve your athletic performance, our physiotherapists can tailor programs to your individual needs to allow you to live an active and pain-free lifestyle.
Back and neck pain
Backaches and neck stiffness are prevalent complaints among individuals of all ages due to poor posture, sedentary lifestyles, or underlying conditions such as herniated discs or arthritis. A skilled physiotherapist can assess the root cause of your discomfort and develop an individualised treatment plan consisting of manual therapy techniques, stretching exercises, and posture correction strategies.
Age-related conditions
As we age, various conditions can impact our mobility and overall physical function. Physiotherapy can be instrumental in managing age-related concerns such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and balance issues. Through targeted exercises, joint mobilisation techniques, and fall prevention strategies, physiotherapists help older adults maintain independence and enhance their quality of life.
