THERAPY TECHNIQUES
At Revive Physiotherapy, we use a wide range of evidence-based therapy techniques to support your recovery, reduce pain, and improve movement. Every person is different, which is why our physiotherapists carefully assess your condition and tailor a treatment plan that combines the approaches most suitable for your needs.
Below are some of the techniques we may incorporate into your care.
About Our Techniques
Dry Needling
Dry needling is a targeted technique that uses fine, sterile needles to release tight muscle bands, improve blood flow, and reduce pain. It’s commonly used to treat trigger points and musculoskeletal pain, helping restore movement and function. Our physiotherapists are highly trained in dry needling and will only recommend it when it can safely and effectively complement your overall treatment plan.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy involves the use of gentle electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves. This can assist with pain relief, reduce swelling, promote healing, and support rehabilitation following injury or surgery. At Revive, our physios have extensive experience in using electrotherapy as part of broader treatment programs, and will determine if it’s the right option for your condition.
Exercise Programs
Individually prescribed exercise programs are an essential part of physiotherapy treatment. These programs are designed to strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, restore balance, and help prevent future injuries. Our team will design a program that suits your goals, abilities, and lifestyle, and provide guidance to ensure you’re performing each movement correctly and safely.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy uses the buoyancy and resistance of water to support exercise and rehabilitation. It reduces pressure on joints, making it an excellent option for managing pain, improving mobility, and building strength in a low-impact environment. Our physiotherapists can guide you through safe and effective hydrotherapy sessions, tailoring exercises to your specific injury or recovery stage.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy is a hands-on approach where physiotherapists use techniques such as joint mobilisation, soft tissue massage, and stretching to reduce stiffness, relieve pain, and improve movement. At Revive, our therapists are skilled in applying manual therapy techniques and will integrate them into your treatment when they can help improve comfort and restore function.
Taping
Taping is a supportive technique used to stabilise joints, protect injured tissues, and aid muscle function during recovery or activity. It can also help improve posture and reduce strain on specific areas of the body. Our physios are experienced in both rigid and kinesiology taping methods and will apply them when they provide clear benefits to your recovery or performance.
