PhysioFlex Physiotherapists treat, manage and prevent the following types of injuries and pains related to the musculoskeletal system.
Possible Cause and/or Origin
- Osteoarthritis
- Facet Joint arthropathies
- Nerve root compression
- Lumbopelvic dissociation or assymetries
- Sacroiliac joint pain- also related to pregnancy
Treatment by Physiotherapist
- Traction
- Passive accessory intervertebral movements and glides
- Passive Physiological intervertebral movements and glides
- Nerve root glides and stretches
- Lumbopelvic dissociation exercises and home exercise programs
- Taping and de-loading techniques
- Manipulations as required for increased hypomobility and stiffness
Prognosis
Improvement after 1st session. Managing LBP after 5 sessions of Physiotherapy
Possible Cause and/or Origin
- Osteoarthritis
- Whiplash associated disorder
- Deep neck flexor instability
- Wry neck
- Facet joint or intervertebral hypomobility

Prognosis
Improvement after 1st session. Managing LBP after 5 sessions of Physiotherapy
Possible Cause and/or Origin
- Primary or secondary impingement
- Subacromial bursitis
- Rotator cuff pathology i.e. tears, strains, poor biomechanics:
- Supraspinatus
- Inrfaspinatus
- Teres minor and major
Treatment by Physiotherapist
- Electrotherapy including:
- TENS including Compex machines (trans electrocutaneous nerve stimulation)
- Ultrasound (high frequency sound waves, pulsed or continuous)
- LASER Therapy
- Interferential Therapy
- Dry Needling or Western Acupuncture:
- This can be used for two effects including (1.) increasing circulation to an area to facilitate the clearance of inflammation and (2.) Releasing a trigger point or shortened muscle via way of creating an action potential that will trigger a muscle contraction and break the cross bridges that are holding the muscle in a shortened postion.
- Heat
- Massage
Prognosis
Improvement after 1st session. Managing LBP after 5 sessions of Physiotherapy
Possible Cause and/or Origin
- Labral tears
- Trachanteric bursitis
- Piriformis syndrome
- High hamstring strains
- Gluteus medius tendonitis
- Snapping Hip
- Osteoarthritis and femoral acetabular impingement
