    TREATMENT MODALITIES USED
    		  
     

    The Brunswick Hill clinic offers a range of treatment.  The treatment modality used is dependent on what is identified on the clinical examination.

    The treatment approaches used are:

    Manual therapy

    Aimed at:

  • Easing pain.
  • Reducing swelling (if any).
  • Improving mobility.

    • Comprising of:

  • Soft tissue techniques
  • Passive (aided) stretches
  • Joint mobilisations
  • Joint manipulations

    • Individualised exercise program
    Managing the musculo-skeletal disorder in the long-term
    Includes exercises addressing:

  • Flexibility (stretches and joint articulations exercises)
  • Strength (using resistance bands, free weights and advice on machine-based exercises at the gym)
  • Stability (core exercises on stable and unstable surfaces)
  • Balance and coordination (using stable and unstable surfaces)
  • Posture (combining all of the above)

    Ergonomic advice educating and correcting:

    1. Identify problems with your workstation, computer appliances and seating.

    2. Lifting technique:

    People are often told to bend from their knees when lifting an object from a low surface.  However, many of us are doing the technique wrong due to inflexibility, lack of strength, or pain in the lower limbs.  At the clinic we identify the areas of weakness and educate you on how to lift correctly.

    3. Posture

    We have all heard or been told to “sit up straight and tall” to improve your posture.  But is that enough?  At Brunswick Hill Clinic, we go one step further to improve your posture by devising an individualised program to address this likely factor causing chronic musculo-skeletal problems.
