HOW DOES physiotherapy TREATMENT WORK?

During your initial consultation at our Toowong clinic, our physiotherapists will thoroughly assess and understand the nature of your injury. They'll conduct an extensive examination to pinpoint the core reason behind your discomfort and offer a diagnosis.

With a clear grasp of the issue, our team can then commence targeted care physiotherapy treatment focused on restoring movement, reducing pain, and preventing future issues through evidence-based techniques.

    Active Release Technique

    Active Release Technique (ART for short) uses muscle release techniques that involve shortening and lengthening the muscle under pressure to break up scar tissue and muscle tightness. It’s our primary method for treating problems relating to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and nerves.

    Joint Manipulation

    Joint manipulation is when a chiropractor adjusts a joint with a quick thrust motion (commonly known as getting your ‘cracked’) to decrease pressure or discomfort on the joint. Whilst definitely helpful, most chiropractors only focus on this area, but at Elite HP, we use multiple techniques for a more holistic approach.

    Dry Needling

    Dry needling is used to elicit a response from your soft tissues (the muscle will often ‘twitch’) to release tension and aid healing. Think of it like a super-deep massage which can be both incredibly helpful and satisfying. Whilst it might look like acupuncture, dry needling is more focused on releasing tensions and knots.

    Exercise Therapy

    Our goal is to help you live pain-free long term. Alongside hands-on treatment, we create custom rehab plans led by an exercise physiologist and guided by exercise physiology principles. Depending on your condition, we may also incorporate clinical Pilates to improve strength, mobility, and posture.

Frequently Asked Physiotherapy Questions

  • At Toowong Physiotherapy, we're dedicated to alleviating pain by identifying its root cause and designing a personalised treatment plan. Our approach combines targeted exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion with hands-on therapy like massage or joint mobilisation. Our senior sports physiotherapist may also use methods such as heat or cold therapy, ultrasound, or electrotherapy to ease pain and inflammation. By addressing the core issue rather than just the symptoms, our physiotherapy service offers lasting relief.

    Musculoskeletal physiotherapy also plays a key role in injury prevention by correcting bodily weaknesses or imbalances that increase the risk of injury. A skilled physiotherapist may create a tailored exercise plan to stabilise muscles around injured joints, reduce the chance of reinjury, and enhance overall function. Proper guidance on form and technique for activities like weightlifting or sports is also included as part of injury prevention.

    Overall, physiotherapy is a non-invasive and effective approach to managing pain and avoiding future injury. Our team works closely with patients to create custom recovery programs that align with their health goals.
