Treatment

 Heléne Swanepoel takes special interest in the treatment of:

Headaches

Massage techniques and joint manipulations can be a very effective treatment for tension headaches and can restore movement and help maintain good posture in the upper spine.

Back & neck pain

Physiotherapy uses a variety of exercises to strengthen and stretch the muscles that support the neck. It can also help improve posture and range of motion.

Orthopaedic & other joint injuries

Physiotherapy can help a patient regain movement or strength after an injury or illness. Treatment can increase physical endurance and stamina.

Sport specific injuries & strapping

Sports physiotherapists manage a wide range of injuries and health issues, and can prescribe exercise programs that utilise strength and cardiovascular training.

Post-operative rehabilitation

It is important to maximise a surgery by doing post-operative physiotherapy exercises that help to stabilise, mobilise and protect the area.

Breastfeeding problems

Physiotherapists can assess and help manage problems encountered by breastfeeding moms. Laser therapy effectively accelerates the healing of damaged nipples and eases pain.

Sinus & chest conditions

Physiotherapy can assist patients who have respiratory and sinus conditions that affect their lungs and breathing capabilities.

Dry needling

Dry needling is a technique physiotherapists use for the treatment of pain and movement impairments. The technique uses a “dry” needle, one without medication or injection, inserted through the skin into areas of the muscle.
