Physiotherapy in Brisbane

Later, in the 1990s, Paul Hodges and the physiotherapy team at the University of Queensland, found that the deepest abdominal muscles were of primary importance in protecting the spine during movement. Further research found that the core stability produced by these deep trunk muscles were greatly decreased after back injury and that these muscles did not heal on their own without specific exercises. These HANDSON skills, along with specific exercise prescription, form the backbone of the treatment approaches at Stafford Physiotherapy center. Sandra has worked part-time since 1992 when she and Peter started their family. Since returning to Brisbane in 2010, Allyson has furthered her study into segmental and arid needling, as well as completed equipment and floor Pilates instruction with Studio Pilates. She is studying fulltime and enjoys playing netball and guitar. At Stafford Physiotherapy we present back pain treatment for a variety of back and neck conditions. It is crucial that the patient follow a specific exercise programmed to prohibit further problems. Keep appropriate posture (the head directly on top of the body). Reach and see us for some treatment and some exercises. Stringent migraines can also cause tightness of neck muscles and joint pain and stiffness that persists behind the migraine has gone. Muscle strains or tears can be caused by accidents at work, home or sport when the limb moves too far for the muscle to adapt, or from overuse from repetitive movements, or from always being in an clumsy or inefficient position because of bad posture or untrue active surfaces. To assist in the recovery of these overworked muscles, we may use massage, heat or arid needling. Most neck and back pain is caused by straining the sliding joints of the spine or hurting the discs. This cause the muscles to spasm and the area can become tight, stiff and painful. Restore muscle balance by strengthening weak muscles and stretching stiff muscles. The fundamental research into core stability (the deep muscles that help to hold you in a good posture) began in the Physiotherapy Department at the University of Queensland many years ago and has continued in the physiotherapy profession throughout the world. If the areas of pain are directly related (for example, back pain with referred buttock and leg pain, or neck and shoulder blade with arm pain) these can be treated in the one steady session.
