PHYSIO IN NORTH SYDNEY

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

What’s the difference between sports physiotherapy and general physiotherapy?

 

Sports physiotherapy is a division of physiotherapy that specifically treats and manages sport-related injuries and concerns. Where general physiotherapy may cover everything from musculoskeletal conditions to osteoarthritis, back tension, and chronic pain management, sports physio focuses on injuries directly related to sports and physical activity. Sports physiotherapy includes everything from injuries in the gym to running injuries and injuries from playing sports.

 

That’s not to say that general physiotherapists cannot treat sports injuries! It’s more to do with the fact that sports physiotherapists have chosen to specialise in the field of sport injury management and treatment.

 

Here at Infinite Health, our North Sydney physiotherapists offer sports physio and general physio treatment to help people from all walks of life. We offer sports physiotherapy as a service with a multidisciplinary team of sports enthusiasts.

​

 

What will treatment from your physiotherapists look like?

 

Our physiotherapy services are tailored to the individual client - so your treatment process will depend on your injury, medical history, and fitness goals. Our Infinite Health physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment and listen closely to your needs so that we can determine the best solution for you.

 

A personalised and structured treatment plan is the key to overcoming your injury or condition and returning to full fitness and strength. While everyone’s road to recovery is different, a treatment plan at Infinite Health’s North Sydney clinic typically includes:

 

• Multiple physiotherapy sessions

• Stretches and exercises to complete between sessions

• Guidelines to apply in your everyday life

 

To get the most out of your rehabilitation plan - it is vital to follow your physio's advice and apply the necessary work outside of the clinic to get back to where you want to be. Of course, our treatment plans are designed to rehabilitate your injury - but we also want to teach you essential injury prevention techniques and help to strengthen you for the future.

​

What are the benefits of seeing a physiotherapist?

Several benefits come from visiting the Infinite Health North Sydney physiotherapy clinic. Whether you’re struggling with a sports injury, chronic back pain, or you want to be pain-free after years of nagging injuries - physiotherapy is vital. Our qualified physios are trained to relieve pain, get you back to full strength, and prevent further damage.

 

Some of the primary benefits of seeing a physio include:
 

1. Treating the root cause 
A physiotherapist will not just treat the symptoms but find the root of the injury and deal with this. For example – the lower back pain that you’re experiencing might actually be a symptom of a hamstring or glute strain. Similarly, the painful plantar fasciitis in your feet might be due to tight or torn calf muscles.

 

Rather than just providing temporary pain relief, our physios at Infinite Health North Sydney will determine the cause of the injury and provide a long-term treatment plan (as well as alleviating pain in the short term).

 

2. Learning proper posture and form

Working with a physiotherapist will ensure that you use the correct form in the sport you play and practise good posture in your everyday life. If you’re a runner, we can analyse your form to identify any issues causing injury and provide actionable advice to help you correct them.

 

We also help evaluate your working environment and your posture to provide advice regarding working ergonomics and any other improvements you can make to prevent further injury or existing injuries from worsening.

 

3. Reducing pain and speeding up rehabilitation 
Physiotherapy will substantially speed up the rehabilitation process for any injury. A trained physiotherapist focuses on reducing immediate pain, helping to repair your body and to prevent future damage. Having an expert in your corner will help to build strength and confidence in your treatment, so you can get back to playing the sport you love or just walking around pain-free as soon as possible.

 

4. Improving your overall quality of life
In addition to healing an existing injury - physiotherapy will help you to feel confident in your body and improve your overall quality of life. Working with a physio at Infinite Health is not simply about coming into our clinic for weekly appointments to relieve immediate pain. We provide you with solutions and exercises to increase muscle strength, improve mobility, and build resilience in your day-to-day life.
