Pains and aches are common, whether it is a muscle pull after exercising or stiffness in joints caused by an injury, or any specific health condition. While most are temporary and can be relieved with rest or over the counter painkillers, some types of pain or limited movement might require a detailed assessment and treatment by a physiotherapist.
Here at Physio Ready our physiotherapy rehabilitation program can help individuals return to their prior level of functioning and improve overall health and wellbeing.
Here are 3 signs that you need to seek a physiotherapist:
- Chronic pain: If you have pain that lingers on for more than a couple of days and it is interfering with your ability to work, play and do regular activities throughout the day, you should see a physiotherapist. Our physiotherapists at Physio Ready will determine the underlying cause of your pain and help to relieve your pain. Our team will work with you to assess the issue and provide the best treatment program that will ease your suffering and get you back to your best.
- Delay in recovery: Will all soft tissue injuries as it heals the pain should eventually go away. But sometimes the pain remains and becomes chronic. This may be due to repeated stress on the injured area, poor sleep, stress, and nutritional deficiencies. If you have an injury that does not heal properly, a physiotherapist can assess the problem and create promote healing using modalities such as LIPUS and shock wave therapy to ease your pain and allow proper healing to occur.
- Reduced movement or feeling of stiffness: Reduced flexibility and feelings of pain or stiffness with movements, such as bending over, turning your head, or raising your arms is an indication that something is not right. If you feel limited in your movement and cannot move as easily as you used to, physiotherapy intervention is highly recommended. Our team at Physio Ready will target and treat the muscles and joints in the problem areas, using soft tissue massage, joint mobilisations, and modalities such as shock wave therapy and LIPUS.
