Treatments (getting physiotherapy in Brisbane)

Physiotherapists make use of a number of treatment modalities to achieve the best possible outcomes. The type of treatment is prescribed and carried out by the physiotherapist, taking the patient's goals and prior level of function into account. Treatments to address pain may include physical agent modalities such as ice, heat, ultrasound, electrical stimulation, hydrotherapy as well as various forms of manipulation.
