Melbourne City Sports Physiotherapy Clinic - What to Expect
Most sport injuries require somewhere between 6 - 10 sessions of physiotherapy over 3-4 weeks. This of course varys depending on the severity and long term nature of the problem.
After an initial higher intensity of treatment you move into a period of rehab if required.
When you visit with us you will be assessed very thoroughly by your physiotherapist. With you we will identify the mechanism of injury and confirm your diagnosis. A clear treatment plan for the coming weeks will then be outlined.
Physio techniques include hands on treatment such as soft tissue release, joint mobilization and dry needling. You also receive instruction in biomechanical correction, strength and flexibility exercise. Various taping and orthotic techniques are considered and injury management at home is discussed.
You will be prescribed exercises to perform at home to help facilitate your recovery and maximise the effect of your physiotherapy.
At times further investigation may be necessary and your physio will advise you when to pursue radiological investigations and further medical input.
