Phoebe Machin Physiotherapy

Your physiotherapist will be able to diagnose and treat your injury whether at work, home or on the sporting field.

The musculoskeletal system comprises of bones, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, nerves, muscles and blood supply. Any one or all of these tissues can be damaged during injury, so thorough assessment from your physio will help you understand the extent of your injury to enable the best possible healing outcomes.

We use a variety of techniques to optimize healing for your injury. These include "hands-on" treatment such as massage, joint mobilization and manipulation. There may also be a need for elecrotherapy agents such as ultrasound and interferential. Your physiotherapist may also use acupuncture for the treatment of your pain and spasm. Some patients also require taping to enable better mechanical facilitation of muscles for performance or in the case of patellofemoral pain.
