Physiotherapy Services - PHYSIO ON ROSS Townsville
Injury
Recovery
One of the most important aspects of rehabilitation injury management is to avoid injuring yourself again.
This test includes your range of motion, the amount of force you can apply, and other musculoskeletal factors unique to your injury.
When you receive professional physiotherapy, you get a custom programme for your injury rehabilitation.
Physical Examinations
Many treatments in physiotherapy rely on muscle strengthening. The core physio exam helps to establish a baseline before beginning any sort of improvement. This allows you to measure your results and see your muscle strength increase over time.
One of the ways Physio On Ross serves you is by customising a unique treatment programme specifically based on the outcome of your core physio exam. It takes into account your current range of motion, strength, age, weight, injury, posture, and other factors unique to you. This means you’re not just getting the same programme as everyone else
Our services also include physical screening for pre-employment. Many of the tests for rehabilitation are also used to assess physical capabilities for open positions. Aside from pre-employment screening, our physical screening can also detect any side effects of your current condition.
Neck and Back Pain Physio Townsville
The first goal is back pain relief. This is a short-term goal to help you return to a healthy, natural state of ease. The second goal is to strengthen your back and supporting muscles to prevent it from getting into a compromised state again. Lower back pain exercises help you recondition your back to avoid future pain. Finally, the third goal is to educate you about proper movement and positioning during daily activities.
Likewise, your neck is supported by the core muscle group of your back and shoulders. People who tend to work in sitting positions, such as a computer desk, tend to develop tightness in the neck, shoulders, and even abdomen. With physiotherapy, you can reduce tension in the connective tissue in the supporting muscles of the body
Improve Your Posture
Yes, physiotherapy includes exercises to improve posture and align the core muscle group of the back and shoulders. By not taking the time to improve your posture, your nerves and spinal cord can stretch and become irritated. This condition can weaken the health of your nerve system and have consequences for your entire mind and body.
We can help you realign your mind and body for improved functioning and an elevated mood. You’ll be glad you decided to improve your posture.
Pre-Employment Screening
First, it’s important to wear the right type of clothing. Loose clothes allow you to move better. Typically, you’re advised to wear gym clothes to the employment pre-screening. Your footwear should be closed-in and flat. Sneakers or work boots are acceptable. If you wear glasses, you should bring them because they’ll be required for the vision assessment, and you’ll need them for filling out paperwork. You should also bring a valid photo ID.
First, you can expect the results of your test to be handled with the strictest confidence. The privacy act protects your information. In order for the employer to receive the full report, they must have systems in place to protect your information from non-essential personnel. Many times, a summary of the results will be sent to your employer highlighting the most important results.
Custom Physio Exercises
First, we listen. Before anything else, it’s important that you are able to express how you arrived at the need for physio exercises and what you hope to get out of it. Your goals and ambitions are a significant factor in your drive to get better as quickly as possible. Each person is unique and you probably agree that you’d like to have someone hear you out before doing anything. Those seeking golf physiotherapy for example, would have different motivations than someone getting physio for ankle injuries. That’s why we begin with you. From there, we move on to discovering your current capabilities through a series of questions and a core physical exam.
The core physical exam is where you find out more about your body’s current limitations in detail. You discover your range of motion, strength and other physical capabilities. From there, you can begin to get answers and understand how your process of recovery will go. Then, your customised exercises are developed based on the way your body responds and progresses.
