Text Box: For those of you that have been in to see us, you will have a good understanding of how we operate. You will also likely be aware that not all physios and physio practices are the same. At *Ascend we are committed to quality physiotherapy service. What does this mean? We think good physiotherapy should: Listen to your story and get a clear understanding of your problem and your goals Thoroughly assess and test your injury and gain a clear picture of the likely structural problems (make a diagnosis) and contributing factors Provide treatment to address the problem, which may include manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, training advice, postural retraining or strategies to reduce pain/improve movement Advise you on the long term expectations for your problem and what you can be doing long term to minimise pain or dysfunction (we don’t believe in repeated long term treatment where it isn’t necessary). Physiotherapists are the best-trained individuals in the medical/allied health system to assess and manage pain and dysfunction related to the neuro-musculo-skeletal system - basically the way your body moves and positions itself. So if you have any issue related to pain, movement or lifestyle, a physiotherapist should be a first point of call. If we don’t believe the issue is best managed with physiotherapy, we will refer you to the appropriate health provider. Physiotherapy is an evidence-based profession - this means that we have research behind our assessment and treatment plans. There are a huge number of physiotherapists worldwide contributing to research in medical science, and the number and funding of physiotherapy researchers has grown exponentially over the last few decades. All the physiotherapists at Ascend are committed to the highest standards of quality in practice - a fact reflected in Ascend becoming the first physio practice in the state to be accredited under new national Quality in Practice standards. Hopefully this gives you a clearer picture of what we do, and why we see everyone from elite athletes to the 90 year old recreational walker - everyone has different goals in their life, and we will help you meet them. If you want to know more, give us a call and ask to chat with one of our physios!
