Physiotherapy is about achieving optimal movement patterns and functioning of our bodies. There are many things in our lives which can affect our performance, injury being one of these. When our bodies are injured or in pain, this shuts down normal functioning of our bodies and can prevent us from achieving our goals and maintaining a healthy and full life.

At Synergy physiotherapy we offer a variety of services and ways to help you stay free from injury and for your body to perform at your peak. We believe in giving you a thorough diagnosis, complete with causative factors and offer a wholistic rehabilitation to ensure a full recovery in all aspects.

You know what they say, prevention is better than cure! This is where we use a thorough understanding of the demands of your sport and conduct an in depth assessment, complete with strength measures to identify any risk areas or areas of weakness which may predispose you in injury. We then come up with some recommendations for training to correct what we find and can design a specific strengthening program also if required based around findings. Sports that we currently screen for include but are not limited to; running, swimming, soccer, netball, rugby league, rugby union. We also offer performance screening for gym-based training and can design custom screens on request.
