Physiotherapy is a form of treatment that utilizes the science of movement to restore or enhance function. Physiotherapists use a holistic approach to help regain, maintain and improve the mobility and physical well-being of the patient, and the profession is committed to health, lifestyle and quality of life. Through the use of movement and exercise, manual therapy and education, your Physiotherapist will assist you in recovering from injury or illness, and in injury prevention. It is a key element of Physiotherapy that your therapist will engage you in your own recovery, and help you on the path to health while involving you in your own care.

The first step in your treatment is a thorough assessment and diagnostic session with your therapist, from which you will together develop a treatment plan to get you to where you want to be. At TÅPESTRY, we believe that your care is paramount, which is why we have an approach that uses only longer one-on-one appointments. We want to really get to the root of the issue, every time, and work with you using the most appropriate techniques for your problem to get the best result. Our highly experienced clinicians can assist you with all your orthopaedic physiotherapy needs.

Created by Joseph Pilates in Germany during the early 20th century, Pilates is a method of exercise that targets core strength and posture. This allows a focus on control, balance, strength and flexibility while treating a variety of injuries, especially those of the neck and back. Modern Clinical Pilates uses a variety of specialized equipment to provide the best possible result. With a strong evidence in place of the benefit of therapeutic exercise in the treatment of injury, it is important to realize that a generic approach to Pilates will not work for everyone, and may even be harmful for some patients.

At Tapestry we utilize a tailored approach to you individual needs, using the experience and assessment of your physiotherapist to develop a program that directly addresses your case.

This means we can help you get back to your best, as well as taking a preventative approach to the future while improving your core stability, posture, strength and flexibility.
