Services Offered

Longbeach Physiotherapy provides a variety of physiotherapy services. Dawn uses a holistic approach that incorporates modern techniques and rehabilitation exercises to treat a wide range of conditions.

Myofascial Release

Myofascial release is a manual therapy technique that targets pain caused by myofascial tissues—connective tissues that support muscles. Through this technique, Dawn works to relieve muscle tension, improve flexibility, and reduce discomfort. It is particularly effective for patients with chronic pain or tightness in specific areas.

Mobilisation

Mobilisation involves gentle manual techniques aimed at restoring movement in stiff joints and tissues. This method is especially useful for patients experiencing limited range of motion. By improving joint mobility, mobilisations reduce discomfort and promote healing.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is a treatment method that targets muscle tissue to alleviate pain and restore function. By inserting fine needles into trigger points, Dawn can relieve tension, deactivate muscle knots, and help restore normal movement. This technique is ideal for treating muscular pain and improving overall muscle function.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy uses electric currents to stimulate nerves and muscles, helping to reduce pain and promote healing. This non-invasive treatment is beneficial for conditions like muscle pain, arthritis, and joint inflammation. By stimulating nerves through the skin’s surface, electrotherapy encourages circulation and enhances the body’s natural healing processes.

Rehabilitation Exercises

Rehabilitation exercises focus on strengthening specific muscle groups to improve overall function. Dawn customises each exercise plan to meet her patients’ needs. These exercises play a crucial role in recovery, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility after an injury or surgery.
