The number of treatments required to fix your injury/pain will depend on a number of factors. These include the length of time you’ve had the pain, severity of the injury and adherence to the home exercise program prescribed. Generally,  sessions can range from 3-5 for acute injuries and 6-8 for chronic injuries / pain.

Treatments available to your RPPR Physiotherapist will include massage, trigger point therapy, dry needling, exercise prescription, muscle energy techniques and electrotherapy e.g. TENS, ultrasound.

Once you’ve had an injury, there is an increased chance that same injury will occur again. Our Physiotherapists will recommend strategies for prevention. These can include attending group exercise classes, recognising early signs and symptoms and adhering to a home exercise program.
