Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a multimodal therapy aimed at the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of neuromusculoskeletal disorders. A combination of physical therapy and manual therapy techniques are utilised to promote appropriate recovery. It is an evidence-based therapy providing effective treatment for a variety of musculoskeletal and sporting / workplace injuries using various treatment modalities applying to neuromusculoskeletal rehabilitation / post-operative rehabilitation / preventative care / sport and workplace injury management / tailored management plans / corrective exercise.
Functional Rehabilitation
Uses various techniques based on returning to optimal physical function. By assessing physical movement patterns, functional rehabilitation focuses on improving strength and stability (proprioception) throughout muscles, joints and ligaments. This aims to enhance the coordination and motion of the individual so that they may perform their activities/sport at a full capacity and prevent future injury.
Vestibular Rehabilitation
Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is an exercise-based treatment modality aiming to promote vestibular and visual adaptation. The primary goals of VRT are to improve gaze stability, enhance postural stability and enhance activities of daily living. Vestibular recovery is obtained via multi-sensory stimulation involving head-eye movements, vestibular adaptation exercises, repositioning therapy for vertigo, and gait exercises, to name a few. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is indicated for conditions including vertigo (including BPPV), dizziness, traumatic brain injury, peripheral vestibular conditions as well as many other central lesions.
Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)
Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is used at SSFC to treat various musculoskeletal conditions with a non-invasive light source that generates specific wavelengths to stimulate the cellular biology of connective tissues for faster healing. LLLT is known to accelerate connective tissue repair, reduce inflammation (within hours to days), offering significant pain relief. It is ideal for all types of inflammatory conditions, some of which include osteoarthritis, shoulder impingement syndromes, joint bursitis, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, low back pain (including disc bulges), and nerve pain.
NormaTec Recovery System
Cutting edge compression therapy designed for recovery and rehab. By using compressed air to massage your limbs, the pulsation works its way up to flush your legs, arms or hips, helping you recover faster between training sessions by reducing muscle fatigue and improving circulation. Primary benefits of the NormaTec system include reduced swelling and inflammation, faster muscle recovery, reduced DOMS, improved athletic performance and flexibility, reduction of exercise related waste fluids (lactic acid) and decreased muscle fatigue. Whether you’re a cyclist, runner or bodybuilder, this system is for you. Book a session or contact us for more information.
