At Dynamic Health we believe physiotherapy plays an important role in preventive healthcare. In this blog, we explore the potential of preventative care and performance physiotherapy. Discover how preventative PT can help you stay ahead of potential problems and reach new levels of performance.
At Dynamic Health Physiotherapy, we believe that physiotherapy care needs to go beyond the conventional goal of pain relief. Our approach is to create a treatment plan that addresses the pain but also continues to restore strength and function to the highest possible level to meet your goals. Our clinic provides a comprehensive and individualized approach to help you reach your full potential. In this blog post, we will expand on this treatment philosophy, exploring how reducing pain AND restoring function is central to our practice. Join us as we walk you through the transformative power of physiotherapy beyond pain relief.
If you’ve ever struggled with a nagging injury or chronic pain that just wouldn't go away or tried physiotherapy before, only to find that the relief is temporary at best, it could be that a different approach was needed. At Dynamic Health, we believe that physiotherapy is not meant to be a passive experience. Instead, we take a hybrid approach that incorporates hands-on techniques with active exercises to empower our patients and help them achieve long-term success.
From the first phone call or conversation in the clinic, all the way through to full recovery and beyond, the ability to communicate effectively is likely the MOST important skill a physiotherapist can have. Here are the 6 points throughout your journey with physiotherapy that require a highly skilled team of healthcare providers that know how to communicate effectively.
Today we’ll introduce you to the four main points that are important to know when considering physiotherapy at Dynamic Health. Whether you are learning about physio for the first time, or you’ve been to physiotherapy before and had a very different experience, these four areas should give you a better idea of what physiotherapy means to us, who it is for, and why you should consider finding a physiotherapist that fits with your needs.
Here at the clinic “I don’t golf... How did I get Golfers Elbow?“ is a very common question. We also hear the same question about tennis elbow. The terms golfers elbow and tennis elbow are based on the activities that tend to irritate a group of muscles. This means you don’t have to be participating in either activity to develop them. Both Golfers and Tennis elbow are often caused by repetitive movement.
