Services

At Foul Bay Physiotherapy, we pride ourselves on offering the highest quality physiotherapy services in a professional, skilled, and friendly manner. Our services include:

1. Manual Therapy: Our certified physiotherapists employ a broad group of hands-on techniques, such as mobilizations and manipulations of soft tissue and skeletal joints. These techniques aim to decrease pain, swelling, and inflammation, improve muscle, joint, fascia, and neural mobility, and promote overall well-being.

2. Exercise/Functional Rehabilitation: Our therapists are experienced in prescribing specific and general exercise programs to help you return to your desired activities. We tailor the program to your needs, whether you are recovering from an injury or surgery or looking to increase your core strength or athletic performance. Home exercises are an essential part of each individual's rehabilitation program and preventative maintenance.

3. Sports Injuries: We have extensive experience treating athletes at various levels, from recreational to professional. Our expertise encompasses a wide range of sports, such as soccer, running, rowing, cycling, swimming, rugby, golf, skiing, and dance.

4. Intra-muscular Stimulation (IMS): IMS is a comprehensive system for diagnosing and treating chronic pain of neuropathic origin. This dry needling technique targets adverse muscle tone, trigger points, or tight bands of muscle tissue, reducing the load on associated tendons and joints, optimizing joint alignment, and alleviating pain.

5. Acupuncture: A traditional Chinese medicine practice utilized in recent decades by Western medicine practitioners, acupuncture involves the insertion of needles at specific points to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain, and improve the function of affected body areas.

6. Spinal Decompression/Mechanical Traction: Traction/decompression is used to alleviate pain in the neck and back by reducing pressure on affected structures. Repetitive or sustained distraction application can diminish signs and symptoms of nerve root disorders, disc disease, and spinal arthritis.

7. Vestibular Rehabilitation: Our therapists provide assessment and treatment for dizziness, vertigo (B.P.P.V), or feelings of unsteadiness caused by various dysfunctions. We identify the cause of the symptoms and offer personalized therapeutic interventions, such as manual therapy, manipulation, and specific exercises, to manage these conditions effectively.
