Physiotherapy is a hands-on form of manual therapy. Physiotherapists use their highly trained sense of touch to diagnose and treat many different conditions. Often, when people think of Physiotherapy, they think of sports. Physiotherapists work with the musculoskeletal system and this is only a fraction of what we do. We provide a holistic approach by not only working with muscles and bones, but also the nervous system, the body’s circulation and drainage, and functions including breathing and digestion.
Physiotherapists put their extensive University medical training to use, to work out how the various body systems are functioning together and how these different systems may be contributing to your discomfort. Mental and emotional health have a huge impact on the body, and we take this into account when we are developing an understanding of your problem. Physiotherapists recognise the individual as a whole person and not just a back injury and that is what we aim to treat, rather than looking at an area of dysfunction in isolation from the rest of the individual. We also recognise that each individual responds in their own way to treatment, so we don’t follow a prescriptive method when determining your treatment plan.
At Physio Parramatta we find out what works best for your body, and tailor your individualised treatment around that, ranging from very gentle and subtle techniques when working with more painful or sensitive individuals, to a stronger more structural approach for sports and physically fit people. Injury prevention and health maintenance are a big part of our work, and we can offer you advice in these areas.
The main aims of Physiotherapy is to relieve pain and tension, restore normal movement, and enhance well-being. Physiotherapist have a great respect for the body’s amazing ability to heal. We work with your body’s natural capacity for health by treating the sources of your problem, rather than seeking just to relieve symptoms.
