Services From Physio On Stanley
Headache and migraine are particularly debilitating conditions that can be widely misunderstood and often misdiagnosed. Recent research has identified the neck as the primary source of this type of pain in over 90% of presentations.
If I could consider a speciality in anything it would be the administration worker’s neck. This includes anyone spending time working seated in front of a screen
Every physio wants to work with elite athletes at the Olympics or with professional sports teams however working in small coastal towns over the most of my career I have spent most of my time managing chronic pain.
Dry needling or Western Acupuncture for physios is a central part of treatment at Stanley Place Physio. The pain controlling properties of the technique are well documented
Soft tissue release is used in conjunction with Dry Needling to again settle the body’s response to pain and tension before restoration of movement.
In the last 10 years we have seen a growing movement of therapy focussed on restoring correct movement patterns as a way to treat and prevent pain and injury.
Spinal pain makes up 70% of the conditions treated in any physio clinic. Approaches to this type of condition are many and varied but the spine can never be treated on its own.
As an avid sportsperson, these are the conditions I love to treat. The emphasis is on speed of recovery with correct taping or bracing as required before examining the movement patterns and re-educating.
