Services Offered

Dawn incorporates a variety of physiotherapy techniques to treat a wide range of conditions.

Myofascial Release

This hands-on technique relieves pain caused by myofascial tissues, which support and connect muscles. It helps release tension, improve flexibility, and reduce chronic pain.

Mobilisation

Gentle joint and tissue mobilisation techniques help restore movement and reduce stiffness. These methods are particularly effective for improving flexibility and addressing movement restrictions.

Dry Needling

This treatment alleviates muscle pain and dysfunction by targeting trigger points with fine needles. It reduces muscle tightness, relieves pain, and promotes better mobility.

Electrotherapy

By applying electrical stimulation to muscles and nerves, electrotherapy reduces pain, enhances circulation, and accelerates healing. It is often used for conditions like arthritis, joint inflammation, and muscular pain.

Rehabilitation Exercises

Customised rehabilitation exercises help strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery. These exercises are essential for post-injury rehabilitation and post-surgical recovery.

Conditions Treated

Longbeach Physiotherapy treats a variety of musculoskeletal and nerve-related conditions, including:

Tendon, Muscle, and Ligament Injuries

Dawn treats conditions such as muscle tears, tendinopathy, tendinitis, and strains caused by trauma or overuse.

Joint Injuries

She provides treatment for fractures, sprains, and overuse injuries in joints like the shoulders, knees, and ankles, including patellofemoral issues.

Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMJ Disorders)

Jaw-related symptoms, including clicking, locking, and chewing difficulties, are treated effectively. These issues often cause ear pain, a blocked-ear sensation, and headaches.

Nerve-Related Conditions

Dawn addresses nerve pain, compression, and irritation, including conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and nerve-related pain from the neck.

Spinal Conditions

Treatment is available for neck, mid-back, and lower-back pain, including discogenic conditions, joint issues, and sciatica.

Post-Surgical Recovery

Dawn assists patients in recovering from spinal surgeries (discectomies, fusions), shoulder procedures (acromioplasties, rotator cuff repairs), hip and knee surgeries (labral repairs, ACL reconstructions, meniscal repairs), ankle surgeries (Achilles tendon repairs, internal fixation), and joint replacements.
