Reload Physio

Our Clinical Technologies

Reload Physio keeps abreast of the latest technologies that the field of physiotherapy has to offer. Our clinic in Brunswick VIC continues to invest in breakthrough systems to make sure you get nothing but the best treatment.

AxIT 

Short for “Assess It”, Axit evaluates the performance, strength and power of each muscle in your body, as well as the range of movements you make in sports and your everyday activities. It gives you an accurate measurement of your current strength so that you know which area to focus your rehabilitation program on.

Comprehensive AxIT Assessments and Benchmarking

This tool performs 12 to 15 tests that match your sport or level of injury. Then it gives you a detailed explanation of the results, which serves as your guide for tracking your rehabilitation progress and sporting goals. 

Gaitscan

This is a very useful tool that analyses the way your feet move when you walk. It provides accurate information on the following

• Your waking patterns
• The way your feet land on the ground
• Areas of your feet that feel pressure
• Your walking pattern in comparison to the timing and distribution of pressure
• Parts of your gait that need more assessment

Lower Priced Custom Orthotics

Through Gaitscan, we can order personalised foot orthotics. If you plan on using these for only a short period or until you have recovered from an injury, you can take advantage of our affordable selection of orthotics.

Galileo Whole Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT)

Vibration therapy helps treat back pain, strengthen the muscles and increase bone density and balance. In addition, clinical research found it be highly beneficial as it does the following:

• Improves energy levels and endurance
• Promotes balance
• Improves performance in sports 
• Eases muscle tension

Radial Shockwave Therapy (RSWT)

This form of therapy is proven to relieve pain and expedite tissue healing in a span of six weeks. It involves the application of shockwaves to the injured area with a handheld device.

Here at Reload Physio, we use the Swiss DolorClast radial shockwave machine to treat the following conditions:

• Tennis elbow
• Jumper’s Knee (Patella tendinopathy)
• Chronic Achilles Tendon problems
• Hip Tendon injuries (Gluteal Tendinopathy)
• Plantar Fasciopathy (Plantar fasciitis)
• Shoulder tendon injuries (Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy)
