Randwick Physiotherapy Centre

I would like to introduce to you Randwick Physiotherapy Centre which is close to Royal Randwick Shopping Centre. We have been offering a high level of service for the past 25 years. Our services include the treatment of: ACUTE MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN My Physiotherapy treatment is “HANDS ON”. Based on advanced techniques of Nordic, Osteopathic and Maitland Mobilization and Manipulation. • Exercise. Once the symptoms start to diminish, exercises are gradually introduced to restore muscle flexibility, strength and control. Muscle stimulation is also used to increase proprioception and to activate inhibited muscles. • Taping or Bandaging, if necessary, is used to make moving easier. Number of visits A minor injury may need 1- 4 visits, however if the injury is more serious, more treatment may be necessary. Returning to work and or sport is monitored to ensure that swelling, inflammation and pain are not unnecessarily prolonged. CHRONIC MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN This type of pain can be due to various forms of mechanical strain such as : ARTHRITIS ; BURSITIS; DISC DEGENERATION; SACROILIAC DYSFUNCTION; LUMBOSACRAL INSTABILITY; SPONDYLOSIS and OTHERS. Mechanical strain in these conditions is the result of one or more of the following: • Abnormal stress upon a normal structure • Normal stress upon an abnormal structure • Normal stress upon a normal structure that is not prepared to receive the stress. These conditions commonly lead to a loss of mobility of the joints and muscles of the limbs and/or spine. The loss of mobility results in the loss of the normal lubricating mechanism AFFECTING THE NUTRITION of the articular and muscular soft tissues. The main goal of physiotherapy with chronic pain is the restoration of the normal mobility of joints and muscles which results in improvement of their normal lubrication pain relief followed by an exercise program to maintain flexibility and improve their core stability using a swiss ball. Some chronic pain sufferers benefit from using TENS. We provide fitting and rental of TENS units. We have two unique forms of treatment: DECOMPRESIVE TRACTION SYSTEM (DTS) is based on published research. By lowering the intradiscal pressures, the DTS SYSTEM greatly facilitates this process and accelerates healing in the disc segment. Maximum clinical improvement occurs when treatment is delivered directly to the af¬fected disc. Regular application of the DTS treatments results in re-modelling of shortened struc¬tures by applying end-range movement to the spine in a controlled manner. The Protonics Therapy Program is appropriate for patients in which some, or all, of the pain in their lower back, SI joint, hip and/or knee is related to improper neuromuscular activation that influences pelvic asymmetry and instability.
