Physiotherapist in Applecross: New Patients Welcome!
Wave Physio, Perth
PHYSIOTHERAPY IN APPLECROSS
Physiotherapy is an effective treatment method when pain or injury impacts on your mobility, your work or your lifestyle.
If you have pain, weakness, pins and needles or numbness, dizziness, or simply are having trouble moving around because of injury, surgery, age or a medical condition, then we can help you.
Our treatment modalities include:
- massage
- joint mobilization and manual therapy techniques
- dry needling/acupuncture
- taping/bracing/orthotic prescription
- joint manipulation
- individualised exercise programs
- self management techniques
- exercise rehabilitation
At Wave Physio, we recognise that your pain is unique and needs to be investigated thoroughly to understand the underlying cause . To do this we'll listen to your individual story and then watch how you move in order to understand where your pain is originating from. Then we’ll use our physiotherapy skills to target the specific structures such as muscles and joints that are relevant to your specific injury in order to eliminate your pain.
It's great spending time with our clients, but we wouldn't be doing our job properly if you needed to keep coming back for treatment over a long period. We'll equip you with the knowledge, exercises and confidence to be able to self manage your injury and prevent your injury from reoccurring.
Some of the issues Matthew has expertise in treating include -
LOWER BACK PAIN
Studies have shown that most people will experience back pain at some point in their life. If you've had back pain, then you'll know just how debilitating, frustrating and scary it can be. Our physio Matthew sees someone suffering back pain most days in the clinic and has experienced it himself. His clinical experience, training and proven track record in treating and reducing back pain make him the ideal choice of physio to treat your back pain.
NECK PAIN
Neck pain is a common complaint among people presenting to Wave Physio. Neck pain can occur for a range of reasons including posture, stress, sleeping position, sports injury, car crash and many more. We will work with you to alleviate your pain and discomfort, while helping you prevent further strains and injuries in the future.
SHOULDER PAIN
Shoulder pain can mean many things. It can be a simple strain from a big day of gardening or something more serious, such as a torn rotator cuff from a fall or footy tackle. Regardless of the cause, it can cause serious pain and effect your activities of daily living.
KNEE PAIN
Knees take quite a bit of abuse throughout our lives, whether it be through sports such as netball or footy or general wear and tear from a lifetime on our feet. Wave physio has experience managing a range of knee injuries including twisted and strained knees as well as longer term pain associated with arthritic changes in the joints of the knee. We can help to detect the early signs of arthritis and create ongoing prevention plans to help you stay healthy.
FOOT & ANKLE INJURIES
Feet and ankles transfer our bodies load into the ground and often take a lot of punishment. Running, walking, and even just standing, puts strain on the intricate structures of the ankle and foot, which can lead to painful injuries. At Wave Physio we have experience treating a variety of ankle and foot injuries.
POST OP REHABILITATION
Post op rehab is vital for getting your muscles and joints back normal function. We have experience providing post operative programs for a variety of surgeries from hip and knee replacements to rotator cuff repair.
SPORTS INJURIES
Sports injuries are common in sports such as football, soccer, hockey and netball and are a common reason athletes present to Wave Physio. We also see people from other sports such as surfing, windsurfing, cycling and running. Regardless of the sport, we understand that people want to return to their passions as soon as possible. We take a biomechanical and holistic approach, assessing your technique and working to strengthen key areas and improve your flexibility. Once treatment is complete, we offer advice and guidance to prevent your injury occurring again.
