Prehabilitation and Rehabilitation

Sometimes through life, we are faced with the option of undergoing surgery to help us continue to live life to its fullest. At Wilson Physiotherapy we understand that this can be a daunting prospect, however we strive to diminish the impact of surgery by offering rehabilitation services to get you back on your feet quickly and enjoying what life has to offer. Our physiotherapists are well trained to guide you through carefully graded and structured rehabilitation programs to get you moving to your potential at the different stages of your recovery. We also offer prehabilitation services which help to get you to your functional best before surgery, and thus streamlining your post-surgical rehabilitation.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is one the treatment options your physiotherapist can choose to offer you. It is a pain free way of reducing painful muscular points that may be the cause of your symptoms or reducing your strength. We use only high grade single use disposable acupuncture needles. Dry needling is painless. Nothing is injected and it is often immediately effective, especially in conjunction with other manual treatments and strengthening exercises.
