BREATHING PROBLEMS &
STRESS MANAGEMENT

Respiratory, Asthma and Bronchial

Many people assume that Physiotherapy is the last thing a person with respiratory problems should consider, but in fact, the opposite is true. Proper breathing technique is an important part of most physical therapies and physical training in general.

​

Physiotherapists can assess how you breathe and how this can be improved, advise on exercises to improve lung function or clear secretions.

WALKING AID ASSESSMENT

Walking aids can assist with balance, reduce fatigue or pain and facilitate a safe walking pattern. Various sizes and styles are available and selection should be made based on the person’s abilities, needs, environment and body shape. It is important that walking aids are purchased or adjusted to the correct height and size. It is best to seek advice and training from a health professional before making a selection.

 

Waiheke Physio are registered assessors and are able to provide assessment and complete the application to the Ministry of Health for the funding of mobility aids for you. 

ERGONOMICS

Home & Office Workstation Setup

​

The total economic cost of work-related injuries and illnesses is estimated to be in the high millions of dollars bracket. Recent research has shown that lower back pain is the world’s most common work-related disability – affecting employees from offices, building sites and in the highest risk category, agriculture.

​

Ergonomics aims to create safe, comfortable and productive work spaces by bringing human abilities and limitations into the design of a work space, including the individual’s body size, strength, skill, speed, sensory abilities (vision, hearing), and even attitudes.

A Pain Relief Alternative

ACUPUNCTURE AND

DRY NEEDLING

Traditional Chinese acupuncture is a 3000 year old tried and tested system of medicine proven to be effective in providing pain relief in conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, and whiplash by altering the flow of Chi (or energy).

​

Dry needling is a more modern treatment used by physiotherapists designed to ease muscular pain. Needles are used to stimulate a specific muscle or region for specified lengths of time based on evidence-based guidelines.
