Physiotherapy
A
physiotherapist is a professional individual that uses their
anatomical knowledge/skills to diagnose and treat a wide range of
muscular related problems using advice, manual therapies and
exercise prescription.
Physiotherapy seeks to identify and solve patient
centred problems thereby maximizing quality of life and movement
potential. This is
achieved using prevention, treatment/intervention, and
rehabilitation methods, utilising an initial assessment which leads
to an agreed plan/goal between the physiotherapist and
patient.
Physiotherapy requires effective interaction between
physiotherapist and their patients/clients and often their families
or care givers.
At Natural Poise we pride ourselves on listening to our
patients and understanding what they would like to achieve to
maximise and maintain a healthy, independent
lifestyle.
Massage
Massage is a therapy that involves the stretching,
rolling and moving of muscles to promote relaxation and this thereby
stimulates the body’s natural pain relief mechanisms.
It can be a slow, rhythmic and often hypnotic movement
or a deep, powerful, sustained pressure that enables the ultimate
pain relief to tired and aching muscles.
Massage has a powerful effect on muscles that promotes
natural balance of the body tissues and ensures ultimate relaxation
and a sense of wellbeing.
Deep Tissue
Massage
Deep tissue massage combines conventional
relaxation massage and targets deeper muscles within the body. The therapist
will use their body weight to stretch and disable areas of increased
muscle tone that are causing pain and discomfort. This massage is ideal for
persons that have pain due to repetitive movements, poor posture or
are actively sporty.

relaxing break during the day!
