What can Lift Physio do to help?
When you first come and see us at Lift Physio, there’s a few things we’ll do.
First we’ll ask you a few questions because we want to fully understand your problem and what your goals are - what would you like to get back to that you can't do right now because of your CrossFit or weightlifting injury, for example.
We also want to get you feeling and moving better as quickly as possible. Some of the tools that we use to do this include:
Manual therapy
Taping or bracing
Soft tissue massage
Dry needling
Gentle “therapeutic” exercises (maybe some gentle stretches, roller/massage ball exercises)
Strengthening exercises
And advice regarding your current exercise volume - wherever possible, we want to make sure that you can keep training in the gym as much as you can whilst recovering from your injury (this might just require a few modifications to your training).
And we’ll also develop a treatment plan with you so that you can know exactly what to expect from us, your expected recovery timeframes, and what we’ll need to do to help you get back to 110%
Then once you start feeling and moving better, we’ll have a chance to get to the bottom of your problem and really understand its main cause. Where appropriate, we like to do this through one of our “Super Assessments”.
Our Super Assessments are a one-hour dedicated assessment where we go deep to understand the true cause of your CrossFit or Weightlifting problem - assessing everything from your muscle strength and power, mobility and flexibility and motor control, as well as any other factors that may be relevant for you. (We use some pretty cool, high-tech equipment to help us do this, too).
Once we’ve looked through the data, we can then come up with a tailored exercise program just for you, to address those underlying problems that we have found - because we want this problem gone for good.
