Pain Management Physiotherapy
Pain is the number 1 reason why people seek the help of physiotherapists. Here at Health Matters Physio we do not believe in “cookie cutter” care, you are uniquely you and so is your pain. Assessment and management therefore also needs to be unique and individually tailored.
Assessment, treatment and management for:
Back, Neck, Headache and TMJ
Together back and neck pain are the most common complaints presenting to physiotherapists, even though this is a common complaint we do not believe in a once size fits all approach in managing your pain. Our body systems work together, a proper holistic assessment which may include looking at areas of the body that don’t seem immediately obvious to your complaint of neck or back pain, may hold the answers for successful management.
Post Operative Orthopaedic Rehabilitation
For most people surgery is the last resort, and once you have taken the plunge, it can feel like you have taken the final step and the rest should come naturally over time. Although time is defiantly an important factor, surgery alone is not the magic bullet. Rehabilitation after surgery is just as important as the surgery its self! Whether it be back or neck surgery, hip, knee or shoulder replacements or arthroscopic procedures, etc etc, getting guidance on the do’s and don’t’s, education on the healing process and what to expect, and exercises is what will get you on the path to full recovery.
Sporting Injuries
STOP! Before you click away, it’s not only elite athletes that get sporting injuries. The recreational and occasional athlete is also welcome (yes, I’m talking to you, the “I hiked in the mountains and tweaked something” and the “I played catch with the grandkids” athletes)! If they are acute or long-standing difficult-to-shake injuries, assessment is the first step in addressing, managing and preventing future re-injury.
Chronic/persistent Pain
If you’ve had a diagnosis of anything from: fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), failed back syndrome, chronic back pain, chronic headaches, osteoarthritis (OA), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), then you will know that living with pain is no fun! And living with pain where you have tried every therapy, treatment, lotion and potion is discouraging and can leave you feeling hopeless! BUT, there is hope! A thorough assessment which looks at your specific contributors to your pain experience, and really listening to your pain story is an important first step. Thereafter management is based on the most up to date, evidence based information we have, and will include a combination of education, hands on therapy and exercise. All of which are tailored specifically to you.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Please note that this service is not currently available at the practice as Candice is travelling.
Assessment, treatment and management for:
PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY
Treatment for; Pelvic pain, dyspareunia, vaginismus, vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, constipation, urinary incontinence, urinary urgency/frequency, pelvic floor weakness, postpartum check up, rectus diastasis, return to exercise postpartum, coccyx pain, pelvic girdle pain, pelvic organ prolapse.
HEADACHES & TMJ
Headaches and TMJ (jaw) pain often overlap with pelvic health concerns and symptoms. Management and treatment for the above mentioned concerns therefore play an important role in my practice. It may seem like a strange connection, I look forward to discussing it with you!
BACK & HIP
Everything is connected! Lower back pain and long standing hip pain are common presentations in my physio practice. Considering our anatomy and the proximity of the hips, thoracic spine, lumbar spine and the pelvis, one can imagine the importance of ensuring comprehensive assessment, treatment and management in order to obtain your unique goals.
