Do you experience acute or chronic pain?
Have you ever had an injury in your life? Do you have pain from sitting at a computer or poor posture? Do you feel like your body is out of alignment?
Have you had a lot of different treatments and not experienced much relief?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, Physio for Seniors may be just what you need. Relief of musculoskeletal pain is what we at Physio for Seniors do best. As movement experts, our approach is not solely to relieve symptoms with modalities but to balance the entire structure of the body from head to toe. We treat the “culprit” (driver of the problem) that is causing pain to the “victim” (the symptomatic part) and sometimes, we will treat both culprit and victim for a more comprehensive solution.
What approach does Physio for Seniors take toward pain relief?
Traditional physiotherapy using machines and generic exercises does not target the problem with a rational solution and that is why you feel that nothing is changing and it is taking longer than expected. This can be frustrating especially if you do not feel heard and understood.
At Physio For Seniors, many clients experience fast and effective results on the first session and are discharged by the 3rd to 5th sessions, quicker than anticipated. This is because we use a tried and tested approach called the Integrated Systems Model that systematically tracks cause and effect, hence finding the culprit to the problem and resolving it with pinpoint accuracy.
The ideal patient is one whose pain results from a biomechanical dysfunction in alignment and movement, leading to feeling twisted or misaligned as a result of past injury, car accidents, falls, arthritis, or habitual poor posture. The model educates the client on the reason for symptoms and offers a simple and doable self-management program that makes sense and can be integrated into everyday life. It engages buy-in and a feeling of WOW by the client, and this is the crux of the method’s success.
When the correct diagnosis is made and the right approach is taken, you may not need to keep up with all of the exercises for the rest of your life. The physiotherapist may recommend an ongoing regimen of alignment correction, stretches, and lifestyle modifications that will serve you well into the future. These should not be time-consuming but considered healthy, new habits.
At Physio For Seniors, we are committed to helping you reach your highest physical potential through innovative and cutting-edge methods that work. Many clients experience significant improvement even after the first session and are empowered to make the necessary changes to accelerate healing. Once the primary corrections are made and the root cause is addressed, the problem should not keep coming back, instead you should experience ongoing relief.

This approach allows the therapist to test cause and effect, to identify on the spot the necessary corrections and changes that will make a particular movement pain-free. The correction that makes the most positive difference to the painful task is the one that is chosen as part of the treatment plan. This approach gives a confirmation as to the driver or culprit and patients receive the immediate effect of the change on their bodies.
