WHO WE TREAT
CHILDREN + TEENAGERS
Children and teenagers can suffer from a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems and sporting-related injuries. If your child or teenager complains of growing pains, we can help. Postural correction is also beneficial for young adults.
ADULTS
Adulthood is a time when old injuries and scar tissue can make life uncomfortable. You’re especially vulnerable if you sit for long hours, did a lot of sport in your youth, are fond of major DIY renovation projects or spent many years wearing high heels!
SENIORS
At Gilmour & Associates, we offer comprehensive physiotherapy treatment for joint and spinal problems, tendonitis, fracture rehabilitation and post-op rehabilitation. We encourage an active lifestyle for maintenance of health and it’s our aim to make sure that pain doesn’t prevent you from staying active.
DANCERS + ATHLETES
Our physiotherapists understand the demands, technique and injuries unique to sport and dance. Our service for dancers includes assessment and treatment of all dance and performing arts injuries. We provide athletes with therapy that allows the normal function of the body’s joints, soft tissue and nervous system.
OUR TREATMENT PLAN
ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS
We can tell you what’s actually behind your injury or pain – the root cause. To do this, we employ proven biomechanical analysis and neurologic testing methods.
AN EXPLANATION YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
Part of getting better is understanding what’s wrong, so that you can be part of your own treatment. Using demonstrations that we’ve found to work, we can help you to get a clear picture of what’s going on with your body.
A TREATMENT PLAN TO GET YOUR LIFE BACK
We’ll get to know you and what happens in your day. That way we can make relevant, logical suggestions for postural and habit changes that will help you to recover. Successful treatment is a partnership between patient and therapist that ultimately leads to self-management.
PREVENTATIVE TREATMENT TO KEEP YOU ON TRACK
A preventative maintenance programme will help you work towards a pain-free future. The programme we provide will depend on the following: The severity of your original problem; the type of work you do; and the type of sporting or physical challenges that you choose to do.
