Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession focused on restoring movement, reducing pain, and improving physical function. Physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy, exercise, and modern treatment modalities to help patients recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and prevent future problems.

At Phoenix Rehab, our physiotherapists create personalized treatment plans based on your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re recovering from an accident, managing chronic pain, or working toward peak performance, physiotherapy supports your journey back to health and activity.

Modalities & Techniques

Our physiotherapists use a variety of evidence-based techniques to support recovery and long-term health:

  • Manual Therapy – hands-on techniques to mobilize joints, release tight muscles, and reduce pain.

  • Dry Needling (IMS – Intramuscular Stimulation) – the use of fine needles to release trigger points and muscle tension, helping relieve pain and restore function.

  • Electrotherapy (IFC, TENS, Ultrasound) – technologies that stimulate healing, improve circulation, and relieve pain.

  • Taping & Bracing – supportive applications to stabilize joints, prevent re-injury, and enhance performance.

  • Heat & Cold Therapy – temperature-based treatments to reduce inflammation and relax muscles.

  • Post-Surgical Rehab – targeted treatments to restore function, strength, and mobility after surgery.

  • Vestibular Rehabilitation – exercises and techniques to treat dizziness, vertigo, and balance problems.

  • Sports Injury Rehab – focused recovery plans to heal injuries, improve performance, and reduce risk of re-injury.

  • Exercise Prescription & Rehabilitation – individualized exercise programs to restore strength, flexibility, and endurance.

How Physiotherapy Works at Phoenix Rehab

We follow a clear, step-by-step approach to ensure effective care:

  • Step 3: Ongoing Recovery & Prevention

    • Our physiotherapists provide strategies for home exercise, injury prevention, and lifestyle adjustments to maintain results and prevent recurrence.
