Physiotherapist Wanaka Vicky Hill Central Lakes

Manual Therapy

All our therapists are very “hands on”. Due to your injury, muscles and tissues will often tighten, this can generate pain secondary to the injury and limit your recovery.  We are able to gently mobilise or manipulate (crack) your joints if we think it necessary and will always explain to you what we’re doing and why we’re doing it.  We aim to have you walking out feeling better than when you walked in, every time!

Education

We want you to understand why you’re body is giving you problems, if you understand then you can help us fix it.  We will always take the time to explain to you what our diagnosis is and why we are using the treatments we are using.  Feel free to ask us questions, no question is ever silly!

Gym Based Rehabilitation

We have access to gym equipment at Pro-active Gym to show you the correct technique and form when completing your exercises and work closely with the excellent trainers there. At Central Lakes Physio understand that it is important to continue to train when you have an injury.   We believe in modifying your activity wherever possible, not stopping it!

Home Exercise Programmes

We all want a quick-fix, but most of the time this doesn’t exist and we need you to put some effort into your recovery too.  We will however, make this as easy as possible for you by emailing or printing you out a home exercise programme that has written instructions, pictures and even videos!  No-one wants to be doing their physio exercises all day, so we promise to make your programme as short and succinct, but maximally effective, as we can.
