You feel like you are in good hands and he helps you understand exactly what the problem is and how important it is to treat the problem right. He even goes the extra mile to fix issues you weren't there for in the first place! Physiotherapists are considered Neuro-Muscular-Skeletal Therapists and as such we treat a multitude of medical conditions. Back pain, injury, disc &/or facet joint dysfunction, posture & ergonomics. Sports injuries: e.g Ligament tears (Knee, ankle, shoulder, wrists), Tendinopathies (Tennis & Golfer’s elbow, Achilles, Rotator cuff), Muscle tears/contusions etc. Treatment aimed at reducing impairment, improving function and preventing re-injury. Relief from your symptoms, value for money and a therapist that goes that extra mile for you. We are experts at figuring out what is wrong, how to change it and how to prevent it from coming back. A few days after a heavy workout, a player feels strong discomfort in the hamstrings when walking or climbing stairs. Both these scenarios involve a muscular issue involving the hamstrings, however they should be handled very differently. Increases blood flow to the area through dilating blood vessels, thus transporting proteins, nutrients, and oxygen for better healing. Reduces blood flow through constricting vessels, thus reducing internal bleeding. Decreases cell metabolism which will slow down an inflammatory reaction. So, in cases of ACUTE INJURIES (where we are trying to reduce the inflammatory response), one should apply ICE to the area as soon as possible and continue for the first 72 hours. On the other hand, HEAT is used to treat CHRONIC INJURIES where there is no swelling or bruising. Usually this is for sore, nagging muscular aches or stiff joints. It’s great for muscular tension and can be applied for 15-20 minutes at a time, taking care not to burn the skin. This can be in the form of a hot water bottle/heat packs or just a really hot bath. So from the above it should be obvious that scenario number 1 needs to ICE his injury as he probably has a hamstrings muscle tear.
