Back Pain

Physiotherapy is a science-based profession that aims to prevent, assess and treat problems relating to movement that might (but not always) be associated with injury, illness, pain or surgery. Physiotherapy is a holistic therapy that aims to discover the root cause and relieve pain/stiffness, improve movement and optimise health and wellbeing.

At UFIT, our key pillar is the use of exercise therapy and education to empower patients to take control of their health and recovery. We consider all factors that may affect your recovery: movement, sleep, nutrition, mindset and rest.

Please be reassured that all of our therapists have broad training and skills and can appropriately manage most musculoskeletal or orthopaedic conditions. Most of our therapists have specific interests in certain conditions or therapies and this may help. If you have no preference, our team is excellent at steering you towards a suitable choice.

Your first appointment will involve taking a thorough and detailed history of your condition. An examination of your movement, flexibility, strength and the integrity of your joints and muscles will take place. This will require moving and potentially completing exercises. Suitable activewear and footwear that you would use for exercise are recommended. Your therapist may need to view the area directly, therefore appropriate clothing is recommended to enable this (shorts / short sleeves top for example).

Following your appointment, your therapist will be able to explain to you what is contributing to your current condition and outline a treatment plan to optimise reaching your goals.

Our sessions are usually 45 or 60 minutes. Longer sessions are recommended if the injury is complex (e.g. multiple body areas affected / a long term injury) or if exercise therapy is recommended. If you are unsure, we would recommend booking a 45-minute consultation and discussing the optimal appointment length for your specific condition and treatment plan with your therapist.

Physiotherapists are movement and exercise specialists. They treat a variety of problems with muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. If you are experiencing a pain or limitation in movement in one of these body areas, a physiotherapist can help. As first-contact practitioners, they are also expertly trained to screen for other pathology or disease that may require referral to a doctor or other specialist for further testing and diagnostics.

As an integrated Health and Fitness company, we also have the pleasure of working alongside other Health and Wellness professionals. If we aren’t the right service for you - we can point you in the direction of where you need to go.

This is dependent on a variety of factors such as the nature of your injury and associated problems, current healing stage, treatment received to date and your own specific health status and treatment plan. Mapping out an optimum treatment protocol can usually be done after 1-2 sessions, once your therapist has a solid understanding of you, your condition and how your body is responding to therapy.
