Sports Injuries
Get back to doing what you love, faster. Our Physios use their extensive experience with elite athletes in every rehabilitation plan. We craft targeted strategies to ensure optimal performance and swift recovery, whether you’re at the top of your game or striving to be.
Our expertise isn’t limited to professional athletes like Justin Medeiros and Ellie Turner, we also proudly support our local stars from Athletics SA, Southern Dragons, Walkerville football and netball clubs, helping them play their best every time. We treat your sprains, strains and more serious injuries, and aim to enhance your performance while preventing future injuries.
Post Surgery
Rehabilitation can be daunting and stressful but you’re truly seen and heard at MOTUM. Our experts work with you to design a program to suit your specific needs, goals and busy schedule. From your initial assessment you’ll walk away with a thorough game plan and understanding about the key milestones and timeframe for your treatment. We work closely with the best Sports Physicians and Orthopaedic Surgeons in Adelaide. It’s our goal to get you moving better than before.
Manual Therapy
Combined with our unique movement approach, we use traditional manual therapy to target your specific needs to help you feel your best. Whatever you’re struggling with, our experts are here to reduce your pain and stiffness.
Experience relief and regain your mobility with hands-on techniques including joint mobilisation and soft tissue release.
Taping
If you need taping we’ve got you covered. We’ll strap it up for extra support in just 15 minutes.
Whether you need to get game ready or need some extra support. This versatile technique helps correct posture and movement, limits range of motion to aid healing, and supports a safe return to your favourite activity… fast.
Dry Needling
Get relief from muscle pain and soreness with targeted trigger point release. This technique involves inserting a thin needle into the skin to relax tight muscles and reduce soreness. Dry needling targets muscle ‘knots’, causing a spasm that helps reset and repair the tissue, providing lasting relief. Our practitioners use only single-use, disposable needles for your safety. Consult with your Physiotherapist to determine if dry needling is the best option for your treatment.
Headache and Migraine
Relief is just around the corner. Don’t put up with the debilitating pain of headache and migraine. A typical cause of your tension can stem from joint or muscle issues in the upper neck and can be intensified by poor posture, stress, or spinal tension. Physiotherapy can help manage your symptoms by addressing your specific musculoskeletal dysfunction. Rachel Hutchings is one of an exclusive group of practitioners who have trained under Dr Dean Watson in the Watson Headache Approach, providing precise diagnosis in treatment for neck-related headache and migraine.
Selective Functional Movement Assessment SFMA
A full-body approach to assess the site and source of your pain. By evaluating basic actions like touching your toes or balancing on one leg, SFMA identifies hidden issues and compensations in your body that can lead to pain and injury. With this comprehensive assessment our practitioners target and treat the root cause of your pain, ensuring precise and effective treatment.
Discover and correct imbalances to enhance your flexibility, stability, and overall function, leading to improved mobility and a healthier, more balanced body. All of our practitioners are SFMA certified and use this targeted approach to diagnose the cause of your pain. Book a full hour or 30 minute consult.
Functional Movement Screen FMS
Don’t wait for pain. Stay injury free with a proactive athletic movement screen. This screening tool identifies potential movement issues before they cause pain. Just as routine blood pressure checks help prevent heart problems, FMS helps you maintain better movement and avoid future injuries. FMS consists of seven tests assessing flexibility, core strength, balance, and motor control. A score below 14 indicates a higher risk of injury. By working with your MOTUM practitioner, you will work to improve your FMS score through targeted corrective exercises. Benefits of FMS include:
Stay ahead of potential issues and keep moving better, longer, with FMS. We include an FMS as part of our initial consultation and we then track your progress by performing the screen in subsequent visits. Make an Appointment today and see how you score.
