TREATMENTS

Treatments

The following treatments are available at the clinic

Adult Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy can help to speed up your recovery from injury, illness or disease and assist you to return to your normal activities. At Nebula Physio and Wellbeing we aim to treat not only your pain and symptoms but also their underlying cause. In addition to short-term relief this approach also provides you with long-term management strategies to prevent recurrence of your problems.

Children's Physiotherapy

Children’s bodies differ from adult bodies owing to their ongoing growth and development. Due to this, there are some conditions only seen in children.

At Nebula Physiotherapy and Wellbeing Ltd we work with children/young people and their family to support and maximise the child’s/young person’s level of physical functioning, assisting them in achieving the most from their lives. Staff have specialist knowledge of children’s anatomy, expected development, and a range of age-specific musculoskeletal and neurological conditions for any child aged 0 to 18 years.

Chronic Pain Management

The idea of a chronic pain problem can be very daunting and worrying. You may be wondering how long it will last, what it may mean and how much it will impact your work and home life. Physiotherapy can help to break you out of the chronic pain cycle. We combine both your physical and emotional wellbeing to maximise your function and minimise your pain. We will listen to your problems and work with you to build a treatment plan specifically tailored to work towards your aims and goals. We will guide you through the recovery process at a safe and steady pace, breaking your activities into smaller and more achievable steps.

Acupuncture / Dry Needling

Acupuncture can be a very effective addition to other physiotherapy treatment modalities to help speed up your recovery. The needles used are very fine, single-use stainless steel needles, which can help to promote healing, improve sleep and reduce pain.

Antenatal and Postnatal Physiotherapy

Antenatal – Pregnancy alters your body at a rate far faster than any other time in your life. It is therefore very common to experience minor aches and pains in a variety of areas. Gentle hands-on physiotherapy treatment can relieve sore muscles and mobilise stiff joints to improve your movement and reduce pain. A targeted exercise program can help to maintain your movement and strengthen your pelvic floor and abdominal muscles.

Postnatal – It is incredibly common to experience some weakness in the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles after pregnancy, whether you have had a natural birth or a c-section. This can lead to problems such as back pain, pelvic pain, and weakness with bladder and bowel control. Without treatment these conditions can linger and worsen, however targeted treatment can help to significantly improve and often resolve these problems.

Headache / Migraine Management

Headaches and migraines have a multitude of different causes and symptoms. They can range from being just a mild annoyance to being completely debilitating, stopping you from participating in work and home life. Physiotherapy can be very effective at treating headaches arising from a range of joint and muscular sources.

Vestibular / Dizziness Rehabilitation

Unexpected dizziness can be a very disconcerting and sometimes scary experience. Targeted physiotherapy can be very effective at reducing the severity and frequency of dizziness and vertigo episodes for a number of conditions. This form of physiotherapy is called Vestibular Rehabilitation Therapy.

Joint Mobilisations and Manipulations

Hands-on treatments such as joint mobilisations and manipulations can help to restore the movement and reduce the stiffness of joints, both in your spine and your arms/legs. This in turn helps to reduce pain.

Massage / Myofascial Release

Hands-on techniques, such as myofascial release work, can help to relieve tension in sore muscles and soft tissue. It can also increase the flexibility and stretch of the soft tissue and help to relax the muscle.

Clinical Pilates

Pilates is a fantastic way to help you improve posture and flexibility. It also helps to increase general strength and core stability, which leads to better balance and control of movement. Clinical Pilates can be a great way to safely return to exercise after suffering from an illness, injury or after undergoing surgery.

Strength, Conditioning & Rehabilitation

An exercise program is often vital for returning to normal activities or sports after illness, injury or surgery. Rehabilitation and strength training within physiotherapy can help to improve movement and flexibility and increase strength. This can assist in reducing pain levels in both the short term and the long term.

Kinesiotaping (Sports Tape)

Kinesiology tape (K-tape/sports tape) can be a useful addition to physiotherapy and can be used for a wide range of conditions, not just those relating to sports. K-tape is latex free and can be left in place for several days, therefore prolonging the benefits of physiotherapy treatment.

HeartMath Techniques

At Nebula Physio and Wellbeing Ltd we promote a holistic, wellbeing approach to physiotherapy that incorporates the mind, body, heart and breath for facilitating wellness. The HeartMath experience combines breathing techniques with the heart-mind connection to help you lower your stress, revitalize energy and resilience, and restore your mental, emotional and physical balance.
