Medical Exercise Therapy
Patients are educated and re-trained regarding postural, biomechanical and technique improvement. Based on the understanding of a patient's individual specific needs, I am able to provide specific rehabilitation programs following occupational or sporting injuries and give advice on how to prevent reoccurring injury. For those who haven’t done any exercise for a while, I can assist in devising a safe home or gym-based exercise plan tailored to your goals and designed to protect you from risk of injury. The clinic also has a range of semi-customised orthotics, orthopaedic appliances such boots and braces and different types of tape (e.g.: sports tape and Rocktape).
Taping
Taping can be used to facilitate recovery in a wide range of conditions. Depending on the condition, either rigid sports tape or dynamic tape, or even a combination of both will be used. Acute sprain injuries of joints are usually stabilised with rigid tape applications.
Dynamic tape applications can be used in the management of many acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions. They may assist with ‘turning down the volume on pain’ or help to reduce swelling and bruising. Dynamic taping can further be used to increase a patient’s awareness of incorrect joint positions or posture and may help to ‘regulate muscle tone’ and facilitate correct movement patterns.
Semi-customised orthotics, orthopaedic appliances such as boots, and braces are also available for specific conditions.
