Dealing with injury and pain is a tough experience.
And it’s one that can have big impacts on your wellbeing, work and family life. It’s no wonder that you want some fast, effective relief.
But too often, we see people seeking out treatments that only offer them that short-term fix. Sooner or later, the pain comes back or the injury reoccurs.
Why? Because the therapy didn’t actually resolve the underlying cause.
When any health professional only treats pain in isolation, they can come up with a diagnosis that isn’t personalised enough.
It may not account for the lifestyle factors, health history and fitness goals of the client.
And that can result in treatment protocols that are reactive, one-size-fits-all and focused only on immediate results.
Of course, short-term pain relief is one goal of physiotherapy. But it’s no good if it doesn’t pave the way to full rehabilitation.
Without restoring your strength, flexibility and muscular control to optimal function?
You can end up sinking time and money on ‘solutions’ that don’t have you feeling healthy for the long-term.
