We look beyond the obvious and take the big-picture approach. Conditions don’t need to be a life sentence - our movement is our aim.
At Ease To Move Physiotherapy, we prefer to look at the big picture. We strive to facilitate the body system to work as a whole, in order for us to move efficiently through space. Our clinical experiences indicate that an arthritic joint or a recurrent neck or shoulder pain could stem from biomechanical dysfunction in one or more body parts and various lifestyle factors. We emphasize on a thorough initial assessment to help you identify these modifiable driver/s to your pain and movement dysfunction.
Every patient that walks through our door is more than a sore neck, a sore back or an arthritic knee to us. The human body is clever to compensate for injuries and muscle imbalances overtime and embed bad movement habits in the central nervous system, straining the body overtime and alert us with pain. We will listen to your story to identify these patterns and facilitate you to return to your movement goals pain free and guide you to prevent recurrence.
We strive to assist you in more than performing your daily tasks at ease. Whether you are unhappy with your tennis serve, your running speed or your jump height etc., we can assist you to optimize your performance.
Muscle imbalance and joint stiffness are common contributing factors to pain, joint degeneration and physical injuries. Manual therapy in the form myofascial release, joint mobilization and muscle energy techniques are effective means our physiotherapist will use to help you address your muscular and joint dysfunctions.
Dry needling is the use of acupuncture type needle into a trigger point of a shortened muscle to create a “twitch” response. A shortened or tight muscle can cause compression in nerve fibers and joints, fostering neuropathic pain and arthritis. Research has documented the effectiveness of a twitch response in releasing tight and shortened muscles, hence releasing compression in nerves and joints.
You will feel a very short-lasting cramping sensation in your muscle during dry needling and temporary muscle ache for a day or two after your treatment, as a result of release of inflammatory chemicals from the shorten muscle. Feel free to speak your therapist if you are concern of side effects or contraindications of dry needling.
Whether you are a blue- or white-collar worker, a busy homemaker or just chilling out at home, our lifestyles these days foster repetitive postures and movements, which are common causes of injuries and pain. As experts of biomechanics, we can advice you on the optimal posture and organization of your workstation to facilitate your recovery and prevent recurrence of injuries.
There is more than enough research evidence that show exercise is one of the crucial means to achieve physical and mental wellbeing. We understand that it can be easier said than done, especially when injuries or pain can be a significant limiting factor. Our assessment will guide us to prescribed individualized exercises for you, tailored to your rehabilitation goals and exercise tolerance. If motivation is an issue and you are not confident with exercising on your own, our group rehabilitation exercise class will suit you needs.
