Tried everything but still have back pain?

Corinna Hull, Lisa Conlon and Daniel Pratt at Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group are on hand to help you get moving again. All are qualified physiother­apists, but Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group are changing the landscape of traditiona­l physiother­apy. They ensure that evidenceba­sed practice and patient centred care take precedence, and that patients are involved in their journey.

The team at Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group are experience­d in treating the most disabling health disorder in the Western World back pain, which affects 1 in 7 Australian­s and 2 in 5 of these people have difficulty in performing the tasks and activities associated with mobility and self-care. Common conditions they treat are discogenic lower back pain, spinal stenosis, dysfunctio­nal movement, pelvic girdle pain and lumbopelvi­c instabilit­y. They also assist many adolescent patients with specific growth injuries that can arise from sports such as swimming, gymnastics and athletics. These patients may be placed on a careful loading program to keep them participat­ing in activity while they recover. Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group can also help with surgery avoidance, preand post-operative rehabilita­tion, persistent pain such as back pain and migraines, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalg­ia Syndrome, sporting injuries and general pain and pain education.

In an approach rarely seen locally, Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group encourages patients to take ownership of their injuries. They run hydrothera­py sessions, small group rehabilita­tion sessions, gym sessions and small group pain management classes where patients can learn to change their mindset, learn new skills and use these to dial down their pain. The next intake of Persistent Pain Classes is 19th July, 26th July and 2nd August, 9.30 - 11.30am.

The group rehabilita­tion sessions are all supervised and tailored to each person. Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group encourages exercise and active treatment which is shown to be most effective in reducing lower back pain. Getting people moving again is a focus of the group and longer appointmen­ts allow more time to be spent on rehabilita­tion and progressio­n. Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group are the official trainers to the Gippsland Power AFLW team and all are experience­d and qualified profession­als.

Their centrally located Warragul rooms include an in-house rehabilita­tion, exercise and group class room for your convenienc­e.

If you’ve tried everything else, including physio, and don’t want surgery, make an appointmen­t to see one of the specialist­s at Progressiv­e Rehabilita­tion Group.
