What To Expect When You Visit Functional Physio SA
After visiting Functional Physio SA you should have answers to these questions
Can Functional Physio SA help you
Yes, physios are experts with pain and function. So whether it’s a major injury, or assistance to improve performance, there is always a reason you could see Functional Physio SA
What the injury is
Your understanding of what’s going on with your body is just as important. A clear diagnosis is what we aim to achieve when you visit Functional Physio SA
How long will the injury take to get better
Whether you’re preparing for an event or competition, or just want to play with the kids pain free, we aim to get you back to doing whatever you love as soon as possible, but most importantly as safe as possible
What Functional Physio SA can do to help you
Functional Physio SA use a wide variety of treatment approaches that can include:
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Massage (or IASTM/Scraping)
Dry Needling with Electrical Stimulation
Exercise Rehabilitation Programs
Worksite Assessments and Return to Work Rehabilitation Programs
What you can do to help yourself
More and more research suggests that if people can help themselves, they report a better overall quality of life. We recognise there are 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week, and that the couple of hours you spend with us is just a small part of that week. So we genuinely believe if we can teach you things to try yourself, it will go a long way to getting you back doing whatever you love as soon as possible
What other things can help
Whether it’s a brace, or new orthotics, or simply a referral to see someone else, we can organise it. The only thing we care about is that you get better
How often we need to see you
This can be quite variable depending on your condition. Initially we find catching up regularly will ensure we get you better quicker – this could be twice a week for two weeks rather than once a week for four weeks – before we space the appointments out as you start feeling better. We want you to get better and not have to see us
