Treatments We Offer

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy is a recent energy-based rehabilitation method that uses electrical stimulation through skin electrodes. It is effective for paralyzed patients or those with limited range of motion to prevent muscle atrophy. It can be combined with laser and ultrasound therapy.

Soft Tissue Mobilization

Soft tissue mobilisation is a great way to relieve pain from athletic injuries since it can help patients relax their muscles and lessen swelling in specific locations. Additionally, soft tissue massage promotes lymphatic and blood circulation while lowering tissue oedema around inflammatory joints.

Therapeutic Ultrasound

In recent years, medical professionals have been able to cure bodily wounds with sound waves. Soft beams can be gently directed at injured tissue using ultrasound frequency. The ligaments, tendons, and fascia are stimulated and absorbed by the ultrasound sound waves like a mini-massage. Patients with muscle strain, tendinitis, and arthritis may benefit from this treatment.

Range of Motion (ROM) Exercises

Physiotherapists often recommend range of motion exercises to improve joint mobility, circulation, and prevent muscle atrophy and postural problems. These exercises are used by healthcare professionals to help people with limited mobility increase their flexibility and retain their independence.
