Services

PHYSIOTHERAPY

Includes the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions for all ages. Treatment plans are goal orientated, specific and tailored to each individual.

– Pre/Post-op Rehabilitation
– Work/Gym Conditioning

– Core Strengthening
– Sports Taping/Strapping
– Weight Loss etc.

IYM Physiotherapy is all ‘Hands-on’ which means that we do not use any electrotherapy like heat, ultrasound and interferential stimulation.

IYM treatment practice is strictly evidence based which means that therapy is backed up by research, science and clinical trials. This ensures the fast and effective rehabilitation of your injuries so that you can reach your goals quicker.

Being located inside Fitness First gym, IYM Physiotherapy can provide you with instant relief from pain and soreness that you might have encountered in your gym workout.

GYM BASED REHABILITATION

Includes the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries using Fitness Firsts’ gym.

When you have reached the strengthening phase of your rehab, your Physiotherapist shall progress you to perform structured resistance training, stretching, core stability training and functional training until you reach your pre-injury duty goals.

Rehabilitation programs include:

– Return to Work programs through NSW WorkCover and Compulsory Third Party
– Work Conditioning Programs
– Pre/Post Surgery rehabilitation
– Gym Strengthening programs etc.
Fitness First Rockdale has state of the art equipment, exercise studios and functional training space.

HYDROTHERAPY

Includes Exercise Therapy and Rehabilitation Programs in a Fitness Firsts’ heated pool.

This form of exercise can be extremely beneficial for chronic musculoskeletal conditions. When exercise is performed in the heated water, it can be easier to perform than on land because:
– heat has an analgesic effect
– you are buoyant in water thus there is less load and pressure on your joints
– exercising through the water provides resistance to the joints and muscles, the faster you move, the more resistance.
– the hydrostatic pressure of the water or the pressure of the water on your body can assist in fluid distribution from healing joints.
– exercise in the water with the gentle drag provides great cardiovascular benefits.

MASSAGE THERAPY

Includes Remedial Massage, Trigger-point therapy, Deep Tissue Massage, Myofascial release techniques by IYM’s accredited Massage Therapist.

Massage Therapy can also work in conjunction with Physiotherapy in an individuals’ treatment program. Having two health professionals treating you during your recovery in a session provides you with optimal treatment benefits.

Massage Therapy is not just for injuries. It can be used generally after a stressful day or a heavy workout in the gym. Feeling tight and sore? just walk straight in from the gym floor into our clinic.

EXERCISE & REHABILITATION PRODUCTS

The clinics sell a wide range of exercise and rehab products that can assist with your speedy rocovery and general exercise needs.

NOTE: You do not need to be a member of Fitness First gym to see us!

Reviews

“I’ve had to have a medical procedure on my lower discs and ever since then I have felt that my back had not been the same!
Until I met Reshan….. �
Reshan does not rely on machines or creams like every other physio I’ve seen (and there have been many). He relies on his touch and professional knowledge and gets it right every time.
Not only is Reshan professional, he is friends and makes you feel very comfortable and what I like more than anything is that he takes the time to explain what is actually going on in your body.
I was also very impressed that it didn’t just end after physio treatment, he also rehabilitate’s you to get back to going to gym or classes but this time with proper techniques.
I will recommend Reshan to anyone and everyone ����������”

“Recently went to IYM Physio (Reshan) to get my knee checked out. Best decision I have ever made. Reshan not only diagnosed the problem with my knee, but put me on a rehab plan that saw me return to weights in much less time than I expected.
I highly rate Reshan and IYM Physiotherapy and would recommend them to all! :)”

“I have used Reshan a few times over the past year or so (pre and post baby!). The latest was for a strained calf muscle which is from an old injury. It didn’t help that this strained reoccurred just before the City to Surf!
Reshan is a great listen (I waffle on sometimes!) and gave me the correct exercises to get back on track. I actually can’t recommend anyone better to see (I have seen a few physio’s around Sydney). He has the time and patience to assess your injury, also he isn’t to bad with the deep tissue massages.
Thanks for all your help Reshan!”

“I’ve seen Reshan a number of times for 2 different injuries. The last time I made an appt for the same day for my arm. Reception staff very helpful and Reshan was just amazing (even when I was in severe pain). The difference it made to my arm (ligament issue) even after the first appt was just phenomenal. He examines you without pressure, explains what he believes to be the issue (he’s always right and shows you on his charts). Would recommend to anyone and everyone.”

“Excellent physiotherapist, very grateful and thankful for his time to implement different ways to achieve my goals and exceeds great customer service, friendly and safe environment.”
