7 Things you need to know about physio!

Posted June 10, 2014

When many people think about physio, the first thing that normally comes to mind is “oh so you work with athletes”, when in essence physiotherapy is a lot more complex than that. Our scope of practice is quite varied. As physio’s we are involved with everything from incontinence to burns and neurological problems. The following list should give you a quick insight into what you need to know about physio:

Physiotherapy is not an alternative therapy; it is based on clinical science and research!
Contrary to popular belief, physios aren’t limited to rehab of sporting injuries and back pain. From pregnancy to neurological problems and everything in between: WE CAN HELP!
We are the experts when it comes to the human body so whether it be injury prevention or management, restoring range of motion or increasing coordination, strength and balance, we have the tools and knowledge to help.
As physiotherapists we utilise a range of treatment techniques including: hands on treatment, dry needling, physical modalities, education and also exercise prescription including Pilates.
The principal aim and goal of physiotherapy is to restore proper functioning of the human body and to maximise quality of life!
It is essential that you do your home exercise program in combination with physio in order to achieve optimal health. Compliance and dedication is the key!
Our main focus is and always will be the health of our clients! Our goal is your goal = a shared passion!

Thanks Pogo Physio! I've had an excellent outcome from my sessions with you. All the staff, from Michael the physio, Sato the massage therapist and Matt at reception were wonderful. Well trained, friendly and professional. I cannot thank you all enough. Together they have got me moving pain free. Their program works!

Pogo physio has not only helped me get out of pain but has helped me become a better, happier runner. As soon as you walk through the door you feel welcome and after my first session with Brad I had no doubts he would get me back to my best . I couldn't recommend the practise more :-).

I have been going to pogo for 2 years now. Brad and the whole team make every visit there so pleasant. Needless to say my injuries are now easily manageable with a great plan set up to suit my specific needs. I would highly recommend pogo physio.

Not only the best in the business in regards to diagnosing and treating injuries but have created and built up over time a very rare form of community and environment that makes you feel welcomed, valued and overall like you apart of something bigger than just getting treatment on an injury. I enjoy myself every time I walk into POGO!

I have seen Brad twice now and he is absolutely fantastic. He is incredibly thorough in his assessment, diagnosis and explaination of both the injury and the process of rehab. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. The pogo practice also has absolutely everything a runner could want for their rehab process. No stones are left unturned in their pursuit for their patients physical best. From the moment you walk through the door, the team make you feel very welcome and comfortable.
