Your First Visit
 

Your First Visit

On your first visit with us at Elite Health and Performance, you’ll be welcomed by your practitioner. The first step will be to completely understand your injury and how it has been affecting you and what it’s holding you back from doing

Once a good understanding of the injury is obtained the we will then begin testing using orthopaedic, muscle and functional examinations. This will help us determine the exact tissue in lesion and allows us to give you a diagnosis and an answer to what is causing your pain and why.

Once we have diagnosed the injury then we will know how to proceed and will get started with hands on therapy.

 
Immediate Therapy
 

Immediate Therapy

With your consent, we’ll start with physical therapy to get you moving and feeling better. Some modalities that may be included are:

  • Active release therapy

  • Soft tissue massage

  • Dry needling

  • Fascial scraping/ Graston technique

  • PNF stretching 

  • Joint mobilisations or manipulation

  • Exercise therapy 

 

Which therapy should you choose?

With chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage all under one roof, it can be overwhelming to choose who to see for your specific injury. Luckily all of our team are trained in the same modalities and injury treatment processes.

Chiropractors aren’t limited to joint work only and spend most of their time with hands on soft tissue work and Physiotherapists aren’t restricted to exercise only. Our practitioners have a strong crossover and all treat under the Elite Health and Performance method.

If you are still unsure, send us a message about your specific injury and we’ll get back to with recommendations and availability.
