Pain Relief And Physiotherapy Singapore

Relieving pain plays a key focus in our physiotherapy approach in managing our patients' conditions (such as fractures management, back and neck aches and pains, arthritis etc). We first need to assess your pain by interviewing what kind of pains you experience, how often and how intense, what causes and aggravates it etc, followed by a physical examination. Then we will use a mix of physiotherapy treatment techniques and mobilizations to diagnose accurate the pain main cause, as well as treat them accordingly.

Manual therapy and mobilizing the joints will help to decrease muscle spasms and stiffness, eventually reducing pain experience. Clinical massage therapy will loosen tightened and shortened muscles, inducing a state of calm and relaxation, decreasing inflammation and ultimately leads to pain reduction. We may use cold therapy as well to decrease any inflammation or swellings observed.

Electrotherapysuch as ultrasound, interferential and the TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) will also help with accelerating healing rate as well as decrease pain levels. What we often pair our sessions with are relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, visualization on top of our specific exercise prescription increases our bodies' production of natural painkillers, as well as provides a general sense of health and well being.
