How do we do it at Revival Health Physio?

The Revival Difference

Assessment:

During your consultation, we will thoroughly examine your medical history and subjectively and objectively assess your physical condition using various special tests. We will provide you with an accurate diagnosis and ensure that you understand the condition you are experiencing and most importantly the root causes of your pain. Together we will also discuss your goals, self management plan, our treatment plan and answer any other questions that you may have.

We will always re-assess you using the outline measures we obtained during your consultations to ensure that you are improving at every step of your recovery journey and achieving your goals with us.

Treatment:

This is the PASSIVE & ACTIVE part of your recovery.

Passively, your physiotherapists may use various treatment methods (see intervention modalities outlined below) to help you reduce pain, improve mobility and restore function during and after your physiotherapy consultation. However, it is extremely crucial that you follow your treatment plan consistently provided by your physiotherapist at your own time to continue to ACTIVELY treat the condition. We do not want you to see you taking 3 steps forwards at our clinic but 2 steps back again at home. By focusing on both the ACTIVE & PASSIVE components of your physio treatment, this will not only ensure your recovery is swift and effective, but also less money and time spent in healthcare. Not to mention the time you spent in discomfort and pain!

What intervention modalities do Physiotherapist use?

Advice & Education

This is where your physiotherapist provide you information to help you understand your condition and what may have caused it. We will also address your prognosis, expectation, concerns and detailed treatment plan.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy involves two kinds of movement: soft tissue work and joint mobilization/ manipulation (see next two sections). Applies to muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, joints and nerves.

Joint Mobilisation / Manipulation

A passive manual technique that physiotherapists use to mobilise restricted skeletal joints to reduce joint pain/stiffness and restore ROM. It can consists of various velocity and amplitude.

Soft Tissue Mobilisation

Physiotherapist may use hands-on or instrument assisted techniques on your soft tissue structures such as muscles, tendons or fascia to achieve various outcomes such as reduce swelling, pain and adhesions, improve ROM, optimise function and promote healing.

Cupping Therapy

A type of deep-tissue massage using suction on skin and superficial layers of soft tissues. This technique may help with pain, inflammation, blood flow, local anaerobic metabolism, relaxation/mobilisation of soft tissue structures.

Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)

Shockwave therapy is an advanced, non-surgical treatment delivering low and high energy shock (acoustic) waves to treated area. Researches have shown to be beneficial in fracture healing, OA, tendinopathies, fasciopathies, and soft tissue conditions.

Taping (Rigid & Kinsiology)

A temporary technique to protect existing injury or re-injury by restricting anatomical structures whilst healing is taking place. Kinesiology ones can also be used to deload or facilitate muscle/tendon action, and reduce swelling and bruising.

Acupuncture & Dry Needling

Acupuncture uses needles placed on body's meridians to restore the flow of Qi and allow the body to heal itself. Acupuncture is often used for chronic conditions including pain. Dry needling targets the myofascial trigger points and help the msucles to return to its normal length.

Therapeutic Exercises

Therapeutic exercise involves movement prescribed by your physiotherapist to correct posture/movement impairments, restore muscular and skeletal function and/or maintain a state of well-being. Therapeutic exercise is a type of physical activity used to treat or prevent injuries and improve functional outcomes.

Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is used for patient-specific treatment after an injury or surgery. It differs from Pilates because it takes into account an individual’s specific injuries and physical needs, instead of having multiple individuals complete the same program. There are multiple benefits to this including, improvements in posture, flexibility, muscle strength, control, balance, and core, and pelvic floor strengthening.

Electrotherapy

Using specialised devices such as TENS machine, therapeutic ultrasound, interferential and EMS designed to deliver customised levels of electrical/acoustic impulses and stimulation to your injured tissues and promote healing, reduce inflammation, stimulate muscle movement and offer certain level of pain relief (pain-gating theory).

Thermotherapy / Cryotherapy

Application of heat or cold for the purpose of changing the cutaneous, intra-articular and core temperature of soft tissue with the intention of improving the symptoms of certain conditions. They are useful adjuncts for the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries/soft tissue injuries and have effects on tissue metabolism, blood flow, inflammation, oedema and connective tissue extensibility.
