Why Fit and Well Physiotherapy
Our 8-STEP PROCESS
Eliminate, not just settle, symptoms -treat the cause
Using knowledge and skill to understand the injury, the pain and the factors contributing to the symptoms.
Discuss
What, Where, How: We will chat with you about the problems you’re having, the symptoms you’re experiencing, and how you started developing the symptoms.
Delve
Our top physiotherapists will ask questions specific to your problems, body and movements to get an in-depth understanding of the contributing factors to the problem.
Deduce
Using our knowledge and your answers, we'll generate possible causes of your symptoms and test the potential structures at fault to identify the source.
observe
This private physiotherapy clinic will carefully check the appearance and alignment of your body and movement patterns to identify issues to address.
Feel
The parts of your body that hurt, and the parts which may reveal if the symptoms might be caused by another part of the body, such as your nervous system.
Move
The way your body moves can indicate which tissues may be causing the problem(s) how severe the problem may be and how different body parts may be affecting the healing and function in other areas.
Test
Specific tests to reveal whether structures are seriously compromised or whether the analysis needs further understanding of how much of the problem is due to the way you move, or the aspects of damage.
Treatment Selection
Based on the above findings, we decide on the quickest approach(es) to take to get you free of pain and feeling better.
