What is physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy manages musculoskeletal discomfort, pain and injury.
The Willis Street Physiotherapy approach is simple – we:
- make a detailed assessment of the problem and discuss contributing lifestyle factors
- do a physical examination to determine pain sensitive structures and any biomechanical factors
- form a working diagnosis and agree on a management approach and treatment plan with you.
Treatment can take many forms – manipulation, mobilisation, stretching, acupuncture, strengthening, massage, trigger point work, Cranio-Sacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Cranio-Sacral Therapy for babies and many more . Learn more about our treatments.
What to expect
- From your 40-minute in-depth initial assessment, we devise an individual treatment plan. We take a holistic approach to the treatment, as most problems are caused by multiple factors.
- Modern physiotherapists have a ‘hands on’ approach. You should expect to be moved and to take an active role in treatment.
- We understand when to refer you for further investigation or opinion – such as x-rays or to a sports physician.
- You should see or feel improvement in your condition within 1 – 3 sessions.
