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.  

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 back problem, 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

• Joint mobilisations

• Soft tissue massage

• Dry needling

• Gentle “therapeutic” exercises (maybe some gentle stretches, foam roller or massage ball exercises for example, depending on what is right for you)

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 back problem - assessing everything from your muscle strength and power, mobility and flexibility, balance 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 the underlying problems that we have found - because we want this problem gone for good.
