ACHES
AND PAINS
How can physiotherapy help you?
Body aches and pains can result from many different causes. Seeking a medical professional is thefirst step in establishing a diagnosis or recovery plan. Physiotherapists are involved in the recovery of aches and pains related to the muscles, joints and nerves.
Common conditions where physiotherapy is an integral part of recovery are back pain, muscle strains, joint sprains/dislocations, tension headaches and osteoarthritis.
Your physiotherapist will refer you to the relevant service if your aches and pains are unrelated to physiotherapy.
Your physio’s role.
During your initial consultation, your physiotherapist will assess your signs and symptoms and take a detailed medical history. A diagnosis is then established and a tailored rehabilitation plan is provided to start your journey of living pain-free.
An example of a rehabilitation program can be strengthening exercise, stretching or making modifications to your lifestyle.
