Empower Your Recovery Journey
Innovative Solutions for Injury Management
At MAD Physiotherapy, we provide cutting-edge strategies for effective injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation, ensuring you return stronger and more resilient.
Core Components of Our Framework
Tissue Properties
Developing the physical characteristics needed for your activity enhances your function and reduces your risk of injury. Our advanced equipment allows for effective measurement and training of your physical qualities to rehabilitate your injury.
Biomechanical Contribution
Understanding and retraining movement reduces pain and enhances performance. Our expert team has experience with training and coaching movement for sport and life, including gym, field based sports, running and lifting tasks for occupational health.
Hormetic Profile
Incorporating our understanding of load management, nutrition, and stress reduction for optimal recovery and performance our team works collaboratively with an extensive referral network to create a personalised injury and performance plan.
Pain Management Techniques
Our pain management strategies are designed to empower patients through education, helping them understand their pain to reduce fear and promote active recovery. We utilize various modalities such as manual therapy (soft tissue treatment, fasical manipulation, dry needling, joint mobilisation), inflammatory management and active exercise strategies tailored to the injury type and phase. Activity modification ensures that loads and movements are adjusted to maintain function while minimizing pain. Graded exposure gradually reintroduces movement and load, rebuilding tolerance and confidence.
Holistic Approach to Recovery
We believe in a comprehensive approach to health, integrating sports performance and training history, nutrition, psychological factors along with medical interventions to support pain management and healing. Our collaborative efforts with referral networks ensure a well-rounded recovery plan, empowering patients to set and achieve their goals.
Rehabilitation Capabilities
Rehabilitation at MAD Physiotherapy focuses on enhancing tissue properties such as strength, power, flexibility, and elasticity. Strength is foundational for injury prevention and involves progressive overload to ensure safe return to activity. Power development, crucial for athletic performance, is achieved through plyometrics and explosive exercises. Flexibility is addressed through dynamic and static stretching to restore range and prevent compensatory movements. Elasticity training, involving reactive strength exercises and tendon loading, builds resilience in tissues, preparing them for the demands of sport and daily activities.
Biomechanical Analysis
Biomechanical analysis at MAD Physiotherapy employs advanced assessment techniques to identify injury risks and inefficiencies. Running and gait analysis uses high-speed video and force plates to detect overload patterns. Functional movement screening, including tests like single-leg squats and lunges, reveals asymmetries and deficits. Sport-specific mechanics are analyzed to tailor injury prevention strategies, ensuring athletes perform at their best while minimizing the risk of injury.
Criteria for Return to Play or Work
Ensuring Safe and Effective Return
At MAD Physiotherapy, we establish clear criteria for returning to play or work, focusing on both physical and psychological readiness. Objective testing, such as strength and flexibility assessments, ensures that patients can handle the demands of their sport or job. Additionally, we evaluate psychological readiness to ensure confidence in movement, reducing the risk of re-injury and promoting long-term success.
Proactive Injury Prevention
Comprehensive Strategies for Injury Risk Reduction
At MAD Physiotherapy, we believe that prevention is better than cure. Our prevention strategies are designed to address potential risk factors before they manifest into injuries. By implementing tailored prehab programs, we help athletes and individuals fortify their bodies against common stressors. Our education workshops equip teams and workplaces with the knowledge to minimize injury risks effectively. Additionally, our load and movement monitoring systems utilize cutting-edge technology to ensure optimal performance and safety. Embrace a proactive approach to health with our evidence-based prevention strategies.
