Our team of physiotherapists design a unique programme for every client. We take the time to understand the true cause of your problem to ensure the right strategies are in place, helping you to regain optimal movement and well-being.
Physiotherapy
We’re experts in movement and function and use a range of different therapies. Your physiotherapist will discuss treatment options with you which are likely to be a combination of the following:
Manual therapy
Involves hands-on physiotherapy techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue techniques, trigger point release and manipulation.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture has been widely used in the world of physiotherapy for a number of years and has been recognised as an effective treatment technique. It has been used to help treat headaches, tennis elbow, shoulder injuries, acute injuries and haematomas to name a few.
Kinesiotaping and Strapping
Kinesiotaping is a new and very popular taping technique which can stimulate or inhibit muscle activity, stimulate lymphatic return and moblilise fascia, helping to assist with recovery.
On-site Gym
At Ponsonby Physiotherapy we offer patients use of our on-site gym free of charge. We can design you an individualised gym programme to help with your rehabilitation; then you can visit at your convenience anytime during our opening hours.
Rehabilitation & Performance Technology
To support your recovery and performance we use world leading rehabilitation technology. Both VALD ForceDecks and VALD DynaMo are advanced tools that enable fast, accurate measurement of muscle balance, endurance and strength. This means your physiotherapy treatments are more targeted to achieve complete rehabilitation, assist in fall prevention, return to gym, functional reactivation and pre & post-surgical recovery. We also work with athletes seeking performance improvements.
Functional Movement (FMS)
Our physiotherapists apply biomechanical assessment techniques throughout your treatment journey to identify muscle balance issues and address these.
You can also book a dedicated Functional Movement Assessment. This involves a complete body review to identify over or under-active muscles, address movement patterns that may contribute to the development of injuries, and then help to correct these through an individualised exercise program designed by one of our physiotherapists.
Pilates
If you are recovering from an injury, looking to regain strength, or just want to improve fitness and flexibility, our Pilates classes are suitable for you. Each class is led by an experienced Physiotherapist. Use of reformer equipment provides added control & targeting.
Before joining one of our awesome small group classes, you’ll start with 2-3 private sessions to ensure you get the right focus and a tailored programme.
