LifeCare Phoenix

Phoenix Physiotherapy of Rozelle-Balmain was established in 2008...so it is a fledgling practice, but this does not mean inexperienced. Our principal physiotherapist has over fifteen years caring for people with physical injuries and pain. Phoenix Physiotherapy of Rozelle-Balmain is dedicated to providing quality care to each individual patient wit... h a strong focus on accurate assessment so the most effective techniques can be utilised to obtain a positive outcome as quickly and as cost effectively as possible. Each treatment session is face to face with a physiotherapist for 30 minutes (standard treatment) and up to 60 minutes for the initial session. There is one patient per physiotherapist because we feel having time to spend listening to and communicating with a patient, especially in the early sessions, is vital in diagnosing the cause of the patient's problem, selecting appropriate treatment methods and thus getting you better quicker. Manual therapy techniques, including joint mobilisations, soft tissue massage and muscle stretches, form a major part of most of our treatments, especially in the early stages of recovery. We also believe educating patients in self management, prescribing appropriate exercises to assist in the recovery process and attempting to prevent recurrence, if possible, are also very important components in the treatment process in varying degrees in each case. Effective communication between a patient and physiotherapist is an obvious but often over looked or underestimated component to a physiotherapy session.Read More
