Rehabilitation 

Kalla & team therapists have a special interest in rehabilitation and to help your body re-learn disorganised neuromuscular patterns which have led to chronic pain or problems with posture generally.

Sometimes this manifests as not able to walk properly or easily, or maybe when you exercise, you cannot reach your full potential, or maybe you can’t hit the golf ball far no matter how many lessons you take.  Maybe no matter how much you rest the area, on going back to the task/job/activity the pain returns with a vengeance.

This is because the body has learned how to tackle this activity the best way it can which has led to this dysfunctioning function.  So you are always working at a disadvantage.  As you get older this issue becomes more of a problem because you cannot compensate as easily and your body is beginning to degenerate further so the movements become more awkward and/or recurring injury patterns occur.

We can help with rehabilitation because on proper observation of your movements we can see where this is happening so releasing and rehabilitating these fundamental areas by repatterning the neuromuscular system to re-educate movement patterns interrupted after injury or surgery (or in kids, when not in use).

Rehabilitation helps stimulate the neuromuscular and proprioceptive pathways to inhibit pain, change the inefficient movement patterns, reduce compensation and MOVE EASILY.

Rehabilitation can help children and adults develop fundamental skills in sports but also corrects bad techniques and habits to become efficient movers by improving balance, concentration, confidence, better motor skills, better body control and developing their fitness ALL fundamental to their physical, cognitive and social growth.

A rehabilitation session is particularly good for the following issues:-

• diagnosed with dyspraxia (co-ordination and balance) particularly kids who dislike sports because they believe they are not good at anything.
• anyone with mild muscular dystrophy conditions
• post operative joints eg knee replacement, hip replacements,
• post surgical repairs eg, tendon repairs, frozen shoulder repairs
• chronic nerve pains eg, sciatica, disc related nerve impingements
• seniors who have fallen and lost confidence in their abilities
• athletes – any abilities, to help with improving speed, strength and rehabilitate chronic and acute injuries.
• Improving core postures
• Anyone looking to get back into fitness and exercise

The above list can be limitless.  Even if you have no injuries there is benefit to engaging your neuromuscular system.

Kalla & team therapists enhance their knowledge regularly thanks to the requirement of continued professional development as Registered Osteopaths and usually finish the sessions with ways to engage you in rehabilitation by making it easy for you to understand the issues first, so you can make these changes knowing what you are trying to achieve by doing them.
