Physiotherapy

Our Physio is: Amine EL-Bacha

Available : everyday including weekend. early and very late appointments are available.

Our clinic is highly specialised in physiotherapy, in addition to the core skills available at all clinics we are fully equiped with all the latest equipment necessary to get you back on track quickly. These include:

Ultrasound
Ultrasound is used for:

- break up scar tissue and adhesions
- reduce inflammation, swelling and calcium deposits
- create a deep heat to a localized area to ease muscle spasms (much deeper than can be achieved with a hot pack - up to 5    cm)  increase soft tissue extensibility prior to stretching and exercise
- facilitate healing at the cellular level
- speeds metabolism and improves blood flow
- reduces nerve root irritation
- at low intensities can speed bone healing
- enhance transcutaneous drug delivery by phonophoresis

Electrotherapy Machine:
Electrotherapy is used for:
·  Acute and chronic ankle pain and ankle joint arthritis
· Acute and chronic low back pain associated with spinal nerve and disc pain or spinal osteoarthritis/degenerative disc disease (DDD) 
. Acute and chronic neck pain associated with soft tissue injury to the muscles, ligaments or spinal discs, joint inflammation and spinal arthritis
· Acute, chronic and post surgical knee pain associated with muscle, tendon, ligament or joint arthritis problems
· Acute and chronic shoulder pain associated with muscle, tendon, ligament or shoulder joint arthritis
· Carpal tunnel syndrome – pain associated with compression of the nerves in the carpal tunnel
· Foot pain including Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendinopathy, Morton’s Neuroma and Peripheral Neuropathy
· Post lumbar laminectomy – a type of surgery to the spine
· Use in labour and delivery
· Dental pain including TMJ pain (jaw joint)

                                                            Bio Lamp:
                                       

Here’s how the BIOlamp works:
1. Although it works in a unique way, BIOlamp looks just like an ordinary lamp.

2. BIOlamp treats the source of pain via a unique infrared spectrum of electromagnetic energy and healing rays which is similar to the natural bio-spectrum waves released by the human body itself.

3. Unlike other infrared therapeutic devices, BIOlamp uses a plate coated with a formation of 33 minerals, embedded in a formation onto a treatment plate, including Calcium and Iron, (which are also found in our bodies).

4. BIOlamp emits a special band of electromagnetic waves in an infrared range, which simulate the natural Bio-Spectrum waves released by the human body itself.

5. This makes it easier for the body to absorb the heat energy, thus enhancing the BIOlamp’ s therapeutic benefits.

CPM or Continuous Passive Motion:
These machines are used to help restore the range of motion in the affected  joints.
     

Strapping:

Strapping and taping are used to give extra support and re-assurance to injured joints and soft tissues.

Treadmill - this is very useful to analyse gait (the way we walk), often the root cause of problems, and to assess the effectiveness of orthotics and strapping

- Neck or Cervical Pain
