Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Physiotherapists use a stethoscope to listen to the sounds made by the heart, lungs, and other parts of the body during respiratory, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal assessments. This can help them detect abnormalities, monitor changes, and evaluate the effectiveness of treatment, especially in patients with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions.

Physiotherapists use tape to support injured muscles and joints, facilitate correct movement patterns, and reduce pain. Taping can help stabilise an area, limit harmful movements, enhance proprioception (the sense of the relative position of neighbouring parts of the body), and promote healing by improving circulation and reducing swelling.

Physiotherapists use ultrasound therapy to promote tissue healing, reduce pain, and decrease inflammation. The ultrasound machine generates sound waves that penetrate the skin and soft tissues, creating a gentle heating effect that can enhance blood flow, break down scar tissue, and speed up the healing process of deep tissues.

Physiotherapists use needles for a technique called dry needling, which targets myofascial trigger points—tense and knotted areas within the muscle. Inserting needles into these points can help relieve pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve flexibility. Dry needling is often used to treat musculoskeletal conditions and is different from acupuncture, which is based on TCM principles.

In Ellerslie, our physiotherapy practice brings contemporary solutions to traditional rehabilitation techniques, specifically designed to tackle present-day health concerns. With a wealth of benefits, administered by our highly skilled therapists, and endorsed by a dynamic community of happy clients, our physiotherapy offerings shine as a prime selection for individuals seeking to boost their overall health and vitality.
