Upper Limb
Upper Limb Injuries refer to Pain in the shoulder, arm and hand can also originate from the neck (spine) area. This is called referred pain and presents in a similar way to local problems. Your first physiotherapy session includes an assessment and examination, to ensure that correct diagnosis is made and the appropriate area is treated.
Lower Limb
At Gordon Physiotherapy Sports and Spinal we see a variety of injuries in the lower limbs. Injuries to the hip, thigh, knee, calf and foot typically occur during:
- trauma – from a fall or direct hit
- overuse – from sports or repetitive tasks
Back and Spine
Having been established in Gordon for over 30 years, Gordon Physiotherapy Sports and Spinal has a reputation for the best treatment of chronic back pain, low back pain and spine related injuries. We use the McKenzie approach, where understanding and self-care is essential for successful results.
Despite the enormous amount of information available, there is still a lot of confusion about back problems and many people are still doing the wrong things for their back. We believe that understanding the cause of back pain and knowing what measures to put in place to prevent back pain is far better than just treating the symptoms.
Sports Injuries
Injuries that occur most frequently in people who participate in sports are usually referred to as Sports Injuries. They can be further classified as traumatic injuries or overuse injuries.
- Traumatic injuries occur mostly in contact sports and range in severity from cuts, bruises and muscle strains, to fractures and head injuries.
- Overuse injuries occur in sports that require a repeated action of one part of the body, such as overarm throwing.
