At Summit Physiotherapy, our therapists draw from extensive experience and expertise, utilizing a variety of advanced techniques to rehabilitate injuries and alleviate pain and disability. Our mission is to promote healing, restore joint and muscle flexibility and strength, and enhance your body’s resilience to prevent future injuries.
Hands-On Healing
There is an art to healing. That is why Summit’s skilled physiotherapists take a ‘hands-on’ approach to our client’s concerns. Whether you are suffering from chronic lower back pain or a sports injury, each client receives individualized hands-on treatment. This often includes manual therapy or myofascial release, targeting the tissues that influence the problem area to relieve tension, improve mobility, and enhance blood flow.
Our hands-on techniques are designed to facilitate long-term healing, ensuring that pain relief is sustained and the risk of re-injury is minimized.
Proven Techniques For Active Individuals
Our physiotherapists offer effective and efficient treatment through a variety of methods, including:
- Myofascial Release: Restores function and flexibility to connective tissues that become stiff and tight when injured.
- Acupuncture: Treats chronic pain, headaches, muscle pain, and arthritis symptoms by stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.
- Craniosacral Therapy: Promotes relaxation and helps reduce pain by balancing the craniosacral system.
- Cupping: Enhances circulation and alleviates muscle tightness.
- Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS): Targets muscle trigger points to reduce stiffness and pain, improving muscle function.
- Deep Tissue Massage: Reduces muscle tension, eliminates joint pain, and improves circulation and flexibility, contributing to long-term muscle and joint health.
- Shockwave Therapy: A non-invasive treatment that uses a pneumatic generator to deliver high-density, high-powered sound waves directly to an injury to treat various issues, including tendinitis.
- Manual Therapy: This includes myofascial release, but also includes working with and stretching/mobilizing the stiff and immobile joints and muscles.
- Traction: a machine that gently pulls or stretches the spine to help alleviate pressure on compressed nerves in the neck or back.
- Kinesiotaping/KT tape/Neuroproprioceptive Taping: Kinesiotaping supports muscles and joints, reduces pain, and improves recovery by providing targeted support without limiting movement.
- Customized Home Strengthening and Stretching Program: A personalized exercise plan to enhance strength, flexibility, and recovery, tailored to your specific needs for ongoing improvement.
Advanced Electrotherapy
We utilize advanced electrotherapy to complement our hands-on techniques, ensuring comprehensive and sustained pain relief:
- Shockwave Therapy: Delivers high-density, high-powered sound waves to treat long-standing, chronic issues such as tendinitis, promoting lasting recovery and pain relief.
- Ultrasound Therapy: Uses high-frequency sound waves that alleviate pain, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing in a non-invasive and targeted manner.
- Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS): A non-invasive therapy that uses low-voltage electrical currents to relieve pain.
- Electrical Stimulation (EGS): Uses electrical impulses to evoke muscle contractions, reducing muscle tension and enhancing blood circulation.
These methods, along with providing our clients with a comprehensive and customized exercise plan, help our patients feel better, fast.
