PHYSIOTHERAPY SERVICES
Neck Pain
Do you have a stiff neck, can’t back your car down the driveway or suffer from neck pain at work? At Edge Physio our expert Physiotherapists will assess you, treat you and give you some exercises to continue with at home.
This allows you to continue your treatment once you have left the clinic and will assist you in getting you pain free and back to your best as soon as possible.
Back Pain
If you have an acute back injury or a long term niggle, we can help you.
With a combination of hands on manual therapy and an individually tailored home exercise programme, including postural and lifting technique analysis, the team at Edge Physio will help you get back on track.
Strapping
Whether it’s playing social sport or representing your province we can help with your pre-training and pre-match strappings.
With years of experience in changing rooms around NZ and the world, Edge Physio will help you with
a strapping that makes you feel safe and secure whilst still allowing you to perform at your highest level.
Joint Pain & Arthritis
Osteoarthritis (arthritis) is a common problem affecting people from all walks of life. The pain from arthritis can limit your ability to exercise, socialise and continue doing the things you love. There are more treatment options available other than medication and surgery to manage your pain.
Driving a car with no shock absorbers will wear out your car quickly, the same can be said for your body. Arthritic pain usually occurs when you are loading through the painful joint. Decreasing this load by strengthening the surrounding muscles (your shock absorbers), has been proven to reduce pain, increase function and delay the need for surgery.
All of our Physiotherapists at Edge Physio have an excellent understanding of exercises designed to assist with arthritic pain and will tailor a programme to suit your individual needs.
Sports Rehab & Injury Management
A torn calf or hamstring? Weird foot pain when running? Fell off your mountain bike? Can’t throw without discomfort? Back pain when you swing your club? Edge Physio can help you.
Our Physios have treated weekend warriors
and international sportspeople the world over. Whichever category you fit into you’ll get the same expert management following your injury. A comprehensive assessment followed by treatment, a home exercise programme and a tailored return to sport programme will allow you to get back
on the court, field, course or track as quickly as possible.
Pre & Post Op Rehabilitation
Surgery can be a daunting prospect. How long will it take to get back to work, will I be able to walk up the Wither Hills again and when can I return to the sport I love? All important questions and ones that we can answer.
Before your operation we can help you get in the best physical shape possible which will help with your recovery. Post operatively we will work closely with your surgeon in order to get your range of motion, strength and function back as soon as possible. This will involve hands on therapy, some hard work from you at home and if appropriate some gym based rehabilitation. We will assist you through every step of the process and help you get back to your best.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
There is no need to be scared of needles at Edge Physio. We have qualified, experienced Physiotherapists who use both meridian and dry needling to assist you with your rehabilitation.
If our Physiotherapists think that Acupuncture will be of benefit to you as part of your treatment programme they will talk you through the process and ensure you are comfortable prior to using any needles. Does the heading need to be Acupuncture and Dry needling?
Headaches
Whether it’s an on-going headache when you are sitting at your computer or unexplained dizziness we can help. It could be as easy as adjusting your posture. A full assessment of your symptoms will ascertain whether this is the case. Our Physios will then tailor your treatment and rehabilitation programme to ensure that you have a good understanding of your condition and the ability to self-manage should it return.
Unfortunately we are unable to help with headaches caused by children and/or mother in laws.
Workplace & Occupational Health
If you are dreading another day at the office, you probably aren’t the only one. There is nothing worse than turning up to work knowing you’ll leave with a sore neck, back or even worse, a headache. With increased computer time as the world moves forward, work place health and work station set up has never been more important.
At Edge Physio we can give you tips on setting up your work station to minimise discomfort and give you exercises you are able to perform in your chair to prevent pain before it arises. If it’s already too late and you are in pain we can help here too. We will assess and treat you giving you tips and tricks to take back to your workplace to ensure that you don't see us again.
