Bakone Physiotherapists

Chronic pain management

Our approach to chronic pain involves educating the patient about pain, manual therapy, lifestyle changes, cognitive behavioural therapy, exercise prescription and working in a multi-disciplinary team.

Sports physiotherapy

Sports and exercise physiotherapists are involved in the prevention and management of injuries resulting from sports and exercise participation at all ages. At Bakone, we provide evidence-based advice on safe participation in sports and exercises and utilise clinical reasoning and therapeutic skills to assess, diagnose and rehabilitate sports-related injuries.

Pre- and post-operative rehabilitation

Physiotherapy following surgery plays an important role in regaining optimal function. Physiotherapy includes regaining the full range of motion of the affected joints, improving muscle strength and stability, and, over time, improving your endurance. We will also guide you on the process of returning to activities like work and sports.

Neck and back problems

Back or neck injuries or pain are caused by damage to the muscles, nerves, ligaments, and joints. In the neck, this can even result in chronic headaches. If left untreated, this may result in severe dysfunction and disability. Using our clinical reasoning skills, we are able to get to the root cause of the pain and dysfunction.

Bakone Physiotherapists

Deep tissue massage

Widely used to treat chronic aches and pain. This technique targets areas of tension or tightness by applying concentrated pressure to the muscle and fascia.

Manipulative therapy

This is a hands-on approach that includes a wide range of techniques such as joint manipulation, soft tissue mobilisation and myofascial release. These techniques are used to restore motion, reduce local ischaemia, stimulate proprioception, break adhesions, stimulate synovial fluid production, and reduce pain.

Dry needling

Dry needling is a technique in which a fine needle is used to penetrate the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle with the intention of decreasing musculoskeletal pain. This technique has been shown to decrease pain in patients with musculoskeletal conditions, increase circulation and help increase muscle length.

Strapping

The purpose of physio strapping is to prevent injuries and provide support for existing injuries. Each type of physio strapping technique has its own function and acts on tissues in various ways.

Electrotherapy modalities

This includes the use of laser, ultrasound, TENS therapy etc., to help facilitate healing.

Adult and paediatric cardiorespiratory physiotherapy

This involves the prevention, rehabilitation, and compensation of clients with heart and lung diseases and injuries. These diseases may cause symptoms such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, increased work of breathing or the reduced ability to exercise. We use various techniques to help combat these complications.
