Physiotherapy: The most effective treatment for the recovery of injuries.
Having the correct treatment after an injury is important. A patient should always seek a Physiotherapist’s advice to make sure the injury is put under correct loading for the stage of healing it is in. This will always promote the best healing, with the best time frames. Without these guidelines, too much load and pressure, or not enough, can cause further injury, discomfort and a slower healing time, meaning you are out of action for longer.
It’s always wise to get an injury assessed by a physiotherapist, to allow a faster and correct recovery, decreasing the time and money spent on future recurring or compensatory injuries.

At Circular Quay Physio & Pilates we’ll assist you with the recovery of your injury, and also with your return to work.

These programs are specific and tailor made to each individual and workplace scenario.
Surgical Rehabilitation:
After surgery it is important to get things moving and functioning again. At Circular Quay Physio & Pilates we can assist you with your recovery, helping you achieve the correct post-operative stages in the correct time frames. We give you a home based exercise program that is tailored to your specific surgery and also treat any associated aches and muscle tensions.
