Joint / Muscle / Tendon / Ligament / Nerve Conditions
Having Physiotherapy prior to surgery leads to less deconditioning, and subsequently improved recovery rates after surgery. After surgery Physiotherapy assists with pain reduction, recovering motion in the joint, improving muscle coordination, and progressive restoration of muscle strength, and function.
Muscle, ligament
Physiotherapists provide immediate treatment for sprains of ligament, strains of muscles, or tendons, irritation of bursae, and bruising. Physiotherapy helps reduce pain and swelling, restores movement in muscles and joints, improves strength, stability, coordination, and balance; restoring you to optimal physical health.
Nerve Pain
Physiotherapists can help to reduce the symptoms that occur with median nerve compression. Treatment is focused on reducing inflammation, improving strength, improving movement of the median nerve and the flexor tendons, reducing factors, such as stiffness or tightness in soft tissues, which can restrict the space available for the median nerve.
Cervical Radiculopathy
Cervical Radiculopathy is a condition of irritation, injury or damage to one of the nerves that exists at the base of the neck. Cervical nerves exit the neck and then branch out to supply muscles that enable the shoulder, arms, hands and fingers to function. When any nerve root in the cervical spine is irritated through compression or inflammation, the symptoms can radiate along the nerves pathway into the arm and hand. Physiotherapists use manual therapy mobilizations and manipulations techniques in conjunction with therapeutic exercises to effectively increase function, range of motion and decrease pain levels.
