Physiozest – Kirrily Curran

Physiotherapy:

Physiotherapy encompasses a wide range of services including listening, assessing, problem solving, diagnosing and treating individual and unique injuries and conditions. It is a physiotherapists goal to find the cause of an injury or dysfunction and return an individual to their optimal movement and function.

Dry needling:

Dry needling is a tool used to alleviate pain and restore function. dry needling is a gentle, generally pain free insertion of a very fine acupuncture needle into muscle or fascia. The insertion of the needle stimulates tight muscle, increases blood flow, and stimulates pain relieving nerve fibres. When dry needling is performed by a skilled practitioner, it is a very effective treatment tool to help restore normal muscle function.

Taping / Bracing:

Physiotherapists use taping techniques or braces to aid in rehabilitation after an injury, for example after an ankle sprain.

Exercise / Movement Re-training:

Following injury or pin, the body can adapt to move in a non-optimal way. This may be necessary in the acute painful situation but not always a good thing for the long term. We provide a full body assessment, looking at functional movements related to your pain or injury and provide exercise to retrain your optimal movement patterns to reduce pain or improve function.
