Physiotherapy To Prevent Pain, Injury Or Illness
As we all know, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN A CURE. However, and unfortunately, in today’s age, the preventative side to healthcare is somewhat overshadowed by the treatments and cures for after the fact. As a result, a number of people aren’t aware of the effective measures that can be taken to prevent any pain, injuries or illnesses from occurring in the first place. This includes what’s available at our Physiotherapy clinics, conveniently located in Melbourne CBD.
It’s important we learn to adapt. With our lifestyles demanding more than ever – longer hours spent at sedentary jobs, more time spent driving places instead of walking or cycling, increased consumption of processed or fast foods – our lifestyles must accommodate a programme or exercise which can successfully counteract some of these detrimental activities, in order to give us the best chance at a long, healthy life. Our Melbourne CBD Physiotherapists can help you get started.
It’s no secret that all of the above lifestyle factors can lead to a number of serious health conditions, some of which have high fatality rates, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. When it comes to your health and well-being, “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is not a motto we’d recommend employing! If you already know what you want, book your appointment at any of our Physiotherapy clinics in Melbourne CBD.
So HOW does Physiotherapy prevent pain, injury or illness? It’s our job as Physiotherapists to know all about these conditions, including what needs to happen in order to suffer from any of them. Research shows that physical activity, combined with a healthy diet, is not only successful in managing and treating illness or ailments, but also for preventing them.
Our Physiotherapists have a sound understanding of the body, and when we combine this with individual and tailored assessments of our patients, we’re able to give help and advice that’s specific to you and your lifestyle.
It doesn’t require drastic lifestyle changes that consume your life; you can achieve important beneficial improvements to your health with a few small changes. It’s because of our Physiotherapists’ experience and knowledge that we’re able to identify the potential for illness or injury, based on your assessment and lifestyle. You’ll find our highly-trained Physiotherapists at our Melbourne CBD clinics on Collins Street and Flinders Street.
