Helping you get fitter and stronger with better movement patterns than pre-injury to prevent recurrence and reduce risk of further injury.

Katie Foster Physiotherapy can offer pilates and reformer pilates for conditioning and return to sport post injury.

 

Manual Therapy

The team at Katie Foster Physiotherapy have a strong emphasis on manual therapy within their treatment approaches. This combined with techniques including acupuncture, cupping, taping, stretching and joint mobilization provides diverse treatments that target the body as a whole rather than focusing on the part producing the symptoms.

By using a whole body approach you can be confident that imbalances and overloaded structures are identified and addressed to aid a sustained recovery.

Pilates

Katie is proud to affiliate with Portland Pilates and Physio to bring you open studio sessions. Using the 5 reformer studio these 30 minute sessions are available to book time on a Pilates tower reformer to work on rehabilitation exercises and strength under the guidance of Katie and the Pilates instructors from Portland Pilates and Physio. Bring your existing rehab program or allow us to prescribe one specifically to your needs. Using all the Pilates equipment; balls, bands, tower reformers and arcs we can adapt and progress any rehab plan to help you achieve your goals faster.
