PHYSIOTHERAPY 

In Clinic Assessment and Treatment 

Your first session will involve a thorough assessment. This will involve you providing background to your injury or current issues and goals, as well as your general health. This helps to guide the physical assessment where appropriate tests are used to test muscles, joints, nerves and movement to best diagnose your injury and develop a treatment plan.
​
Once your assessment is complete we will discuss the findings together and make a plan moving forward.

Treatment will depend on your injury and needs. This may include:
  • ​Education about your injury and management plan
  • Activity modification to optimise recovery
  • Joint mobilization or manipulation
  • Soft tissue massage and myofascial release
  • Home exercise programme appropriate to your injury and needs
  • Exercise utilising Pilates equipment to facilitate joint mobility, muscle strength and flexibility
  • Return to sport and exercise management plans
  • Postural education and retraining exercises
  • Acupuncture 
  • Pain Management and Education
(Note: if you are have a Telehealth Consultation please discuss with your therapist how this  may differ)
​
Home Visits: If you are unable to come to the clinic we can come to see you in your home. 

​We are able to see clients in Sandringham, Kingsland, Mt Albert, Mt Eden, Epsom, Mt Roskill, Three Kings, Western Springs, Grey Lynn,  Westmere and Ponsonby,

​Telehealth Consultations - what to expect

 Telehealth is the use of information and video conferencing technologies, to deliver health services and/or transmit health information to a patient when the clinician is in a different location.
We will use either Cliniko, Zoom or Physitrack,  which are all secure platforms. 
Telehealth allows us to connect with you securely to understand your current state, review your progress, give advice, and adjust or advance your exercises.   All this without you needing to be in the same place.
This service will generally be available for all our services, although we recognise there are some limitations of this platform for initial assessments and physical assessments. 
ACC considers that Telehealth appointments count as one of your allocated number of consultations and have provided funding to enable such services are available to everyone. 

What do you need for Telehealth?
For a Telehealth appointment with your Physiotherapist
  • To be in a private ‘safe’ place, ideally at home or in a private office space.
  • To have provided an email address or mobile phone prior to the Telehealth call to enable us to access you through our systems.
  • To have access to a computer, tablet, smartphone or laptop with good internet connection. The best browser to use for both platforms is Google Chrome or Mozilla.
  • To have video conferencing capability (in-built camera or external webcam).
  • If using your smartphone, you will require WIFI or suitable cellular network coverage for Telehealth to work.

Investigations

Your assessment may highlight the need for further investigation. This may involve referring you back to your GP or for an x-ray or ultrasound to help assist with diagnosis of your injury.

Onward Referral – working as part of a team

Close links with other health professionals including  GP's, Sports and Musculoskeletal Physicians, Orthopaedic Specialists, Podiatrists, Nutritionists, Exercise Physiologists and Sports Psychologists who will ensure you will receive optimal and coordinated care. Your treatment can be tailored in with other complimentary health care providers.
​

Sports Injuries and Post Operative Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy and Pilates can optimise your recovery post injury or surgery.  Initial assessment will focus on identifying the nature of your injury and deciding on the best treatment pathway. We can refer for further imaging and to specialists if required.  For those post surgery treatment will follow appropriate post operative protocols in a safe and supportive environment.​

Real Time Ultrasound Assessment

Real time ultrasound assessment is a non-invasive assessment tool that can be used to assess muscle function. It is particularly useful in determining if those deep stabilising muscles around the spine and hip are doing their job. Ultrasound can also be useful in pelvic floor retraining programmes such as post pregnancy or surgery. Real time ultrasound can also be used to look at tendon health and function.

Pain Management

​Physiotherapy and exercise can play an important role in helping you to reduce and control pain. It is useful in the management of complex pain syndromes, headaches and acute and chronic neck and back pain.

CLINICAL PILATES + STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Picture
Our Clinical Pilates/Strength and Conditioning sessions are taught by fully qualified  Physiotherapists or Masters Qualified Strength and  Conditioning Coach. These are focused 1:1 sessions whereby you will be guided through an individualised exercise session tailored to your phase of rehabilitation and specific to your injury, dance or sporting demands.

These sessions can be useful to progress your strength, flexibility and movement control post injury, before and after pregnancy, post surgery or simply as an adjunct to your weekly training or exercise regime.

​You can work at your own pace doing exercise that is designed specifically for you. ​ 

 

MOVEMENT SCREENING AND MUSCLE BALANCE ASSESSMENTS 

Movement control and muscle balance assessments can be a useful tool to develop individualised exercise programmes to help you achieve your goals in sport and dance. This involves a video assessment of  dance/sport related movement patterns, functional movements, gait/running technique, as well as specific tests to measure range of motion, strength, balance and flexibility.  For those young dancers who will be starting pointe work - a pre-pointe assessment may help to establish an appropriate individualised programme to prepare for these specific demands.  

Linda is also able to complete intake orthopaedic assessments for dance schools including the NZSD.
