Strapping or taping is commonly used by physiotherapists for -
* Relieving pain
*Improvement of joint mobility
* Prevention of injuries/reduced injury recurrance
*Correcting faulty biomechanics
*Reducing strain on injured or vulnerable tissues
Physio's use tape which is applied to the body in order to achieve these aims, depending on what we find to be the problem.
Together with other techniques, strapping is an effective tool in the physio's toolbox to achieve optimal pain relief and improve function.

Did you know.....all physiotherapists in South Africa are "first-line practioners". This means that anyone that needs physio treatment can walk into a practice and be treated. They do not require a referral from a medical practioner or specialist. Also, X-rays and special investigations are not always required to treat problems. This is because physio's use a number of physical tests and a comprehensive assessment to pin-point problems and intervene accordingly. Our patients can trust that we have extensive medical training to treat and correct problems as well as prevent future problems from occurring. so what are you waiting for, contact your physio today and start to feel better

An interesting read for lower back pain sufferers

TWO-THIRDS OF HERNIATED DISCS HEAL ON THEIR OWN! - RESULTS FROM A RECENT META-ANALYSIS

Too many people think that once you have a disc herniation (or disc bulge), that you’ve got it for life 😥

Well, a recent meta-analysis (Zhong et al., 2017) has shown that 2/3 of disc bulges spontaneously heal on their own! Many of them within a few months too. 😱

Conclusion from the paper: “Because the overall incidence of disc de-herniation is now 66.66% according to our results, conservative treatment may become the first choice of treatment for LDH.”

Even though discs sometimes herniate, this does NOT mean they 'slip'.

Jarod Hall has written a great blog on what actually does happen and how to deal with it.

Hi everyone,I wanted to post some useful information on home based physiotherapy treatments.
Home based physio services is when you have a physiotherapist provide treatment in the comfort of your own home. There are many reasons people could prefer this kind of treatment,namely:

1. It is more convient than sitting in waiting rooms of physio practices.

2. The treatment and exercise programmes can be designed around what is available at home.

3. Some patients are not mobile and able to get to a practice for treatment e.g. elderly or disabled patients

4. People are generally more comfortable in their own homes and they get quality one-on-one time with the physio.

These are just some of the advantages of having a physio treat your condition at home.

Remember,physios are first-line practioners and you do not need a doctor's referral to see a physio.

My practice offers home visits at affordable rates for people in Chatsworth and surrounding areas. Please contact me if you or a family member require physio at home.

The sooner you receive professional and effective treatment,the quicker you will recover and get back to Life!

Physiotherapists work with people to help with a range of problems which affect movement using exercises (targeting affected muscles or muscle groups) , massage and a range of other techniques. We work with people who have physical problems caused by illness,injury,disability or ageing. We see Human movement as central to health and well-being and aim to maximise movement. We also promote good health and advise people in how to avoid injury.

I love my job and that I get to affect my patients' lives in a profound way (such as restoration of physical vitality). My greatest reward is seeing my patients well again:)
