MUSCULOSKELETAL THERAPY

  • OSTEOARTHRITIS (OA)

    Osteoarthritis (OA) OA is a prevalent chronic joint condition affecting thousands of Australians. While it can impact any joint, it predominantly affects the knees, neck, lower back, fingers, and hips. Commonly found in individuals aged 65 and older, OA affects the lumbar & pelvis, lower limbs, upper limbs, head, and spine.

    Typical OA symptoms include pain, swelling, and stiffness. Though no scientifically proven cure exists, the condition can be managed through surgery, weight management, and physical activities. Our expert physiologists can develop a personalised exercise plan to help manage your specific condition.

  • TINNITUS

    Tinnitus is characterised by noises or ringing in the ear and is considered a symptom rather than a disease. The intensity varies among patients, with some experiencing high-frequency ringing sounds while others hear sizzling-like noises. Common causes include past head injuries, drug history, eardrum rupture, stress, and disease.

    Though tinnitus affects people of all ages, it is most prevalent among the elderly, and severity increases with age. Diagnosis depends on the symptoms, and while no scientifically proven treatment exists, various methods can alleviate the sounds. Our professional physicians can help you manage the condition by designing a customised exercise plan and solution chart to alleviate symptoms.

  • DEGENERATION

    Degeneration is a chronic musculoskeletal disorder associated with tissue changes that reduce functionality. It can lead to various health complications, such as vision loss and Alzheimer's disease. This disorder causes progressive deterioration of nerve cells, resulting in cell death and muscle weakening. Though it affects people of all ages, it is more common in older adults.

    Degeneration is diagnosed by decreased functionality in certain organs, such as hearing or vision loss due to weakened muscles. Although no scientifically proven treatment exists, we can help manage the condition and restore weakened muscles to their maximum potential functionality. Our professional physiologists will guide you through the degeneration management program.

  • JOINT DISORDERS

    Common joint disorders affect the elbow, wrists, knees, and rotator cuff/shoulder. These conditions often result from damaged tendons, muscle injuries, or other health issues and can be categorised as muscle strains and tears. They typically affect athletes, such as golfers and tennis players, and the elderly.

    The primary diagnosis involves pain in the affected areas, and physical therapy is the best treatment alternative. Visit us for an exceptional experience and noticeable improvement in your movement.

  • PELVIC FLOOR DEFICIENCY

    A common condition affecting many Australian women, with nearly half experiencing it at some point in their lives. Pelvic floor deficiency occurs when the pelvic muscles are weak or tight and is most prevalent in women aged 65 and above.

    Pelvic floor deficiency is diagnosed by pain around the pelvic area, particularly during movement or sitting. Though there is no scientifically proven treatment, surgery and vitamin D supplements have shown improvement. Pelvic floor physical therapy is the best alternative, and we can help develop exercise programs to manage and improve your condition.
