Danny Gilbert has also completed a traditional Acupuncture certificate with the Australian Acupuncture Association. This form of treatment can be beneficial in the treatment of migraines, general well being and fibromyalgia/chronic pain.
Cupping
Cupping is an ancient Chinese therapy in which a cup is applied to the skin and the pressure in the cup is reduced (either by heat or suction) in order to draw and hold skin and superficial muscles inside the cup.
Physio 4 life therapists will use cupping as an adjunct to treatment. Common conditions treated are thoracic tension and hamstring tightness.
Gym and Rehabilitation
Physio 4 Life has exclusive access to a purpose built rehabilitation gymnasium at the Unihealth Playford location. Our physiotherapists can individually design and supervise a physical rehabilitation program using a combination of free weights, pin-loaded and ball stability exercises. This allows us to assist and manage our clients’ injuries/conditions and assist their return to their chosen activities of daily living, sport or work environment.
You will be guided through the program so you will reach the highest level of physical function that you desire and give you advice to maintain your desired level of function.
