AT WESSELS & STONE PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
Effective Management is Dependent on Accurate Diagnosis
The effective management of your conditions which may involve pain, disability, illness or body dysfunction is dependent on a thorough evaluation and accurate diagnosis. As first line practitioners your physiotherapist will evaluate and determine which line of treatment to follow.
Applying techniques suitable to your condition
Your physiotherapist will apply her knowledge and experience to choose the most effective treatment plan, as well as addressing the root cause of your problem. This may include hands-on therapy, dry needling, electrotherapy, strapping and rehabilitation.
Reintegration into significant life rolls / Return to function
Part of the vision of Wessels Lamprecht Physiotherapy is to assist you in returning to or starting with activities that are currently difficult due to your condition. In order for us to assist you in achieving your highest level of function your physiotherapist may provide you with a rehabilitation program. She may assist in making some postural changes and even give you lifestyle advice. Our hope for your long-term progress is that you will live a fulfilled and satisfied life unhindered by pain or disability.
At Wessels & Stone Physiotherapists our vision is to improve the quality of life of our patients. Pain or disability may prevent a person from participating in their significant life roles. We hope to partner with our patients in achieving their highest function.
