Physiotherapy Techniques and Treatments

Functional Exercise

Functional Exercise

Functional exercises are essential in physiotherapy to restore movement and strength for daily activities and sports performance. They involve training multiple muscle groups together to create coordinated movement, unlike isolated exercises that focus on single muscles.

At My Health Works, we use functional exercises as part of our physio sports injury and knee injury rehabilitation programmes to improve stability, balance, and mobility, helping you recover safely and return to your normal activities with confidence.

Electrotherapy

Electrotherapy uses safe electrical currents to stimulate your nervous system, reducing pain and promoting healing. At My Health Works, we use electrotherapy as part of our physio ankle sprain treatments to decrease swelling and pain, and in shoulder rehabilitation to relieve muscle tension and improve mobility.

This physiotherapy is also effective for back pain, helping to reduce discomfort, ease muscle tightness, and support your recovery process so you can return to daily activities confidently.

Trigger Point Therapy

A ‘trigger point,’ or myofascial trigger point, is a highly sensitive spot within a tight band of muscle or its fascia that causes pain when pressed and can refer pain to other parts of the body. For example, a trigger point in the neck can cause headaches or radiating pain into the upper neck and shoulders.

Trigger points often develop due to acute trauma (such as car accidents or falls), repetitive overuse injuries, poor posture, emotional stress, or prolonged inactivity like bed rest or sitting for long periods. At My Health Works, our team uses trigger point therapy as part of physiotherapy for neck pain and upper neck pain, targeting muscle tension to restore comfort and mobility.

Our treatments include superficial dry needling, where fine needles are inserted into the muscle to release tightness, or applying sustained pressure directly to trigger points. These methods effectively reduce pain, improve circulation, and promote long-term recovery.

Manual Therapy

Manual therapy is an effective hands-on technique used to relieve muscle tightness and restore mobility. Our therapists apply sustained pressure to specific areas without oils, creams, or machines, relying solely on their well-trained hands to detect trigger points, joint restrictions, and muscle tension accurately.

At My Health Works, manual therapy is integrated into physiotherapy for back pain to reduce stiffness and support healthy movement patterns. It is also a core part of our shoulder treatments, helping to improve range of motion, reduce pain, and restore shoulder function for daily activities and sports performance.
