Treatment Approaches Used in Physiotherapy Sessions
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy may be used to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support movement quality early in rehabilitation. It is combined with active exercise and progressive loading to help patients build resilience and confidence in their movement.
IMS / Dry Needling
IMS (Intramuscular Stimulation), often referred to as dry needling, may be used as part of a physiotherapy treatment plan when clinically appropriate. At GroundSwell Physio, IMS is not offered as a standalone service, but integrated alongside exercise-based rehabilitation, manual therapy, and education to support long-term recovery and performance.
