Hi-Physiotherapy Clinic - Trece Martires

PT Examination
A detailed screening process of our patients' general health status and movement testing is performed before initiating a Physical Therapy treatment. In contrast with the consultation with a doctor, the physical therpaist's examination does not aim to medically diagnose but to label an impression on the patient's potential movement problem or medical concern. Rehabilitation Medicine

This is a Medical Consultation service intended to diagnose or determine the underlying pathology which is causing the patient's chief concern. Prescription of medications as part of the overall rehabilitation may also be prescribed by our Physiatrist/Rehabilitation Doctor. Therapeutic Exercise
These are clinically supervised activities prescribed by a physical therapist for the purpose of maintaining and achieving appropriate mobility of the joints and muscle performance. Manipulation/Manual Physical Therapy
In order to maximize our patients' exercise performance, patients are treated using joint manipulations and skilled interventions for the purpose of relieving pain for better joint movement. One of the techniques classified as manual therapy is the spinal manipulation procedure. TECAR Therapy
A diathermy or deep heating device used for pain relief which works by stimulating the body's natural healing process. This is one of the most advanced forms of technology in Physical Therapy. Percussive Therapy
Localized vibrations using a therapeutic "gun" device can be added to the overall Physical Therapy program to ease muscle tensions. Blading/Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation
This is also a form of Manual Therapy which is used to release localized muscular restriction. Using a blade tool which can be incorporated with simple exercises can promote lain relief during movements. Vacuum Cupping Therapy
Physical Therapists use suction cups as the patient attempts to perform movements that aggravate the pain. Pain relief is achieved as the restricted muscles are relaxed, thus overcoming the movement limitation. Dry Needling
Our clinic is equipped with skilled application of acupuncture needles intended to target the source of the pain. This is beneficial for patients with posture or muscle related pains and injuries.
