Services
01.
PhysioTherapy
Physiotherapy services are provided in situations where movement and function are compromised by aging, injury, pain, disease, disorders, conditions or environmental factors, and with the understanding that functional movement is essential to health.
​
Think about getting physiotherapy if you have an injury, or chronic pain that affects how you function everyday. A doctor may refer you to physiotherapy after surgery such as a hip replacement, or an event such as a heart attack or stroke.

-
Neck and back pain caused by problems in the muscles and skeleton
-
Problems in the bones, joints, muscles and ligaments, such as arthritis and the after-effects of amputation
-
Lung problems such as asthma
-
Disability as a result of heart problems
-
Pelvic issues, such as bladder and bowel problems related to childbirth
-
Loss of mobility because of trauma to the brain or spine, or due to diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis

ElectroTherapy
Ultrasound Mechanical vibration at increasing frequencies is known as sound energy. The normal human sound range is from 16Hz to something approaching 15-20,000 Hz (in children and young adults). Beyond this upper limit, the mechanical vibration is known as ULTRASOUND. The frequencies used in therapy are typically between 1.0 and 3.0 MHz (1MHz = 1 million cycles per second).
Pulsed shortwave therapy The clinical effects of PSWT (pulsed shortwave therapy) are primarily related to the inflammatory and repair phases in muscuoskeletal / soft tissues
03.
Shockwave Therapy
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is a treatment using powerful acoustic pulses which is mostly used to treat kidney stones and in physical therapy and orthopedics. The most common use of extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) is for lithotripsy to treat kidney stones (urinary calculosis) and biliary calculi (stones in the gallbladder or in the liver) using an acoustic pulse. It is also reported to be used for salivary stones and pancreatic stones. Extracorporeal shockwave therapy is used as a second line measure to treat tennis elbow, shoulder rotator cuff pain, achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, and greater trochanteric pain syndrome.
ESWT is also used to promote bone healing and treat bone necrosis. It is an effective alternative to surgical treatment of non-healing fractures.
ESWT is used for wound healing and has shown positive results in short-term and long-term outcomes in diabetic patients suffering from foot ulcers.

Kinesiotaping
The Kinesio Taping Method is a therapeutic taping technique which alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin increasing interstitial space and allowing for decreased inflammation in affected areas. Kinesio Tex Tape applications can be applied in hundreds of ways and have the ability to reduce pain and inflammation, promote post-surgical healing, optimize performance, prevent injury and promote good circulation and can assist the body’s natural healing process.

Western Medical Acupuncture

It acts mainly by stimulating the nervous system, and its known modes of action include local antidromic axon reflexes, segmental and extrasegmental neuromodulation, and other central nervous system effects. Western medical acupuncture it’s mainly used to treat musculoskeletal pain, including myofascial trigger point pain. It is also effective for postoperative pain and nusea.
