Injury Rehabilitation

At Live Bright Physiotherapy we treat all musculoskeletal injuries and guide you through the whole rehabilitation process. We will individualise your journey to ensure it suits your goals and specific injury. We can help you with you face to face on the Gold Coast or via a Telehealth call from anywhere in Australia. We understand how frustrating being injured can be and will be with you every step of the way to ensure you get back to doing what you love and feeling better then ever.

Musculoskeletal injuries include anything related to the muscular (muscles) and skeletal (bones) systems in the body. If you are unsure if it is muscle or bone or something else causing your pain, we can help you determine what is going on and if we are best suited to help you.

THE LIVE BRIGHT JOURNEY

Every journey will be unique and everything is 100% individualised to meet your needs. However, this is a general idea of what you can expect at Live Bright Physiotherapy.

STEP 1: ASSESSMENT

Your first appointment will involve a thorough initial assessment conducted by a physiotherapist. This will involve a subjective interview where we will ask you everything we need to know to help you. Then you will be taken through a physical assessment and movement analysis relating to your presenting complaint

STEP 2: INTERVENTION

In your session, you may receive some hands on treatment such as massage, dry needling/acupuncture, manual therapy etc. to assist with pain relief. However, at Live Bright Physiotherapy, we believe movement is medicine and our go to treatment is an individualised rehabilitation/exercise plan to target any weakness, tightness and movement dysfunction. Don’t worry, we won’t give you a million random exercises that you won’t want to do.

STEP 3: EDUCATION

Understanding what is going on and why is fundamental in helping you recover. If you know why we are prescribing certain exercises it will make it that much easier to stick to them. No question is a silly one.

STEP 4: MOVE

This bit is up to you. After your session, you will be given an individualised exercise program and now it’s time for you to execute and reap the rewards.

STEP 5: FOLLOW UP

Whilst we love our clients, our goal is to get you to the point that they don’t need us anymore. Depending on your circumstance will depend on how often and how many times we need to see you, but if we recommend another session, it’s for your benefit, not ours, we promise!
