Brain Body Balance Physiotherapy 1.82

At Brain Body Balance Physiotherapy the emphasis is on patient comfort and attention to detail.
Assessment and treatment consider the patient as a whole.
With a strong 25 year background in manual therapy (BPhty UQ and MMACP London), treatment is extremely hands on, with other services such as laser therapy, real time ultrasound scanning and dry needling also being available.

Pain can be due in part to unnecessary tissue sensitisation and muscle tension. Brain Body Balance Physiotherapy is committed to looking beyond the obvious to identify all potential inputs to tissue sensitisation and the pain experience. All sources of pain are identified and dealt with, reducing pain and preventing recurrence of pain in the future.

Pain science education is integral to pain management, health and wellbeing. Understanding pain can change beliefs and prevent health problems through early intervention. “Controlling Pain Using the Body and Brain” is a 2 part seminar (each part 1.5hrs), designed to teach non medical people, using language they can easily understand, how to deal with pain and what to do to avoid it.
Attendees leave with many useful self-management skills. Topics covered include:

• How pain is made
• Factors that could be contributing to pain
• Strategies to reduce the likelihood of getting pain
• How to reduce pain if you already have it
• How to reduce pain if you get it in the future
• Strategies to prevent it coming back

Information covered also includes tissue healing, exercise, posture and wellbeing.

Clinically, once patients have a deeper understanding of pain and the brain, the likelihood of developing chronic pain is reduced and improvement from treatment can be more marked and can be better maintained between sessions, thus reducing the number of appointments required.
By implementing the healthy behaviours suggested in these lectures, patients are less likely to inadvertently flare their symptoms in both the short and long term.
