About Saidi Scriven Physiotherapist Wellington

Located in the heart of Wellington, this practice provides personalised physiotherapy services to patients of all ages, from professional athletes to the elderly. We pride ourselves on offering a holistic approach that treats the root cause of the issue, not just the symptoms.

Our team of skilled therapists, together with biokineticists, offers a wide range of services under one roof, including pilates classes, wellness testing, and final-phase rehabilitation. We also have access to a heated swimming pool, which supports rehabilitation, aqua aerobics, and aqua pilates.

We aim to help patients regain their independence, whether through in-depth assessments or tailored treatment plans. Saidi Scriven Physiotherapy is committed to delivering high-quality care and ensuring the best outcomes for each individual. We are conveniently located with services available at various branches including the Paarl Aquatic Centre, Paarl old age homes, Paarl Medi-Clinic, Spescare, and through home visits.

Our Services

Saidi Scriven Physiotherapy offers a comprehensive range of treatments, all aimed at improving your mobility, health, and quality of life. We specialise in the following areas:

Elderly Care

We understand that aging brings its own challenges. Our treatments are designed to help the elderly maintain their independence as long as possible. We provide pain control, balance exercises, mobility training, and safety advice for both patients and their families. Our goal is to enhance the quality of life and reduce the risks associated with aging.

Palliative Care

As part of a dedicated palliative care team, we focus on improving the quality of life for terminally ill patients. Our services include pain management, mobility assistance, and emotional support for both patients and their families, ensuring that individuals experience dignity during their final days.

Orthopaedic Treatments

We provide expert care for musculoskeletal conditions, including both traumatic and degenerative issues. Whether you’ve suffered an injury or have an ongoing condition, our physiotherapists use movement, exercise, and manual therapy to treat your pain and restore your function.

Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain is a long-term condition that persists beyond normal healing time. Our approach to chronic pain management combines education, exercise therapy, and manual techniques to help retrain the nervous system, addressing both the physical and psychological aspects of pain.

Sports Injuries

Whether you’re a professional athlete or a recreational enthusiast, sports injuries can be debilitating. We offer both rehabilitation and prevention treatments for a wide range of sports-related injuries, ensuring a speedy and safe return to your activities.

Post-Operative Rehabilitation

Recovery after surgery is a crucial part of the healing process. We help patients regain their mobility and strength, working closely with surgeons to follow post-surgical protocols and ensuring optimal recovery.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is an effective treatment for deep muscle spasms. By inserting fine needles into tight muscle areas, this technique alters the way the body senses pain and promotes healing.

Respiratory Treatment

For patients struggling with respiratory conditions, we offer treatment to assist with breathing difficulties and phlegm clearance. Techniques such as chest percussions, postural drainage, and breathing exercises are used to improve lung function and relieve symptoms.

Soft Tissue Techniques

Soft tissue treatment is crucial during the healing process of injuries. By focusing on muscle and fascia tissue, we improve flexibility and reduce scar tissue, ensuring better recovery outcomes.

Neurology

We provide specialised care for patients with neurological conditions such as strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and neuro-muscular dystrophies. Our treatments are aimed at restoring function and preventing complications.

Postural Rehabilitation

Poor posture can lead to musculoskeletal pain. We assess postural imbalances and provide rehabilitation exercises combined with manual therapy to address these issues, helping patients maintain better posture and reduce pain.

Strapping

We use various strapping techniques to support injuries and promote healing. Whether it’s rigid strapping to limit joint movement or kinesiology tape to improve circulation, our treatments are tailored to your specific injury and needs.
