PhysiotherapIST SUNSHINE COAST

At Enhanced Living, our physiotherapists conduct initial assessments with a focus on empathy, understanding, and patient well-being. During this crucial stage, our primary objective is to build a strong rapport with each patient, ensuring they feel supported and valued throughout their rehabilitation journey.

During the initial assessment, our physiotherapists begin by actively listening to the patient’s concerns, taking the time to understand their unique experiences and challenges. We recognize that each individual’s journey is different, and we approach every assessment with compassion and an open heart.

As we progress with the assessment, our physiotherapists maintain a positive and encouraging tone, emphasizing the patient’s strengths and potential for recovery. We take the time to explain the assessment process in a clear and straightforward manner, addressing any questions or uncertainties the patient may have.

Some of the things we might do are as follows:

• Conducts assessments to evaluate a patient’s physical condition, mobility, and functional abilities.
• Develops personalised treatment plans based on the assessment findings and the patient’s specific needs and goals.
• Implements therapeutic exercises and techniques to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion
• Provides manual therapy, including hands-on techniques like massage and joint mobilization, to reduce pain and improve mobility.
• Prescribes and fits appropriate assistive devices such as braces or orthotics to support mobility and enhance function
• Airway clearance techniques and breathing exercises
• Soft tissue mobilisation (massage)
• Targeted Pain Relief: Physiotherapists use dry needling to target specific areas of pain or discomfort, such as knots or trigger points in muscles. By inserting needles directly into these areas, they can effectively reduce pain and promote muscle relaxation.
