The Essential Health Pathway

Health is not a luxury but essential for everyone.

We know that your health is important to you. Our mission at Essential Health Physiotherapy is to Restore Health so that you can regain control in life. Restoring health means that you would be able to return to a state of well-being and optimal physical condition after your injury or illness.

At Essential Health Physiotherapy, everyone of our clients are guided through a comprehensive assessment and management program named Essential Health Pathway. Our Pathway is developed based on more than 50 years of combined clinical experience and aims to help you to regain Strength, Freedom and Happiness by restoring your health.

The Essential Health Pathway

Reasons for the Ultimate Goal

Strength

Restoring your health means giving you the strength to participate in your desired activities. Essential Health Pathway provides rehabilitation that allows you to regain physical strength, mental strength and strength to prevent the recurrance of the same injury happening. Your body would be prepared physically strong enough not to be restricted by your illness or condition. You would feel mentally and emotionally strong with us helping you to build confidence to complete more physical activities in your life. You would no longer have the fear of reinjuring yourself.

Freedom

Essential Health Pathway not only aims to restore your health but also to restore your freedom. You will have more time to do things you enjoy. We know that physical conditions or injury can prevent you from achieving your goal. We help improve your health, allowing you to live without limitations ( As many say, the sky is the limit!). Regardless of your goal, whether it is to spend a weekend hiking with your friends or family, pick up work to provide income to your family or return to a sport that you have not been able to do in the last 5 years, Essential Health Pathway offers the opportunity and opens a window for you to pursuit your passion. Most importantly, we want to ensure that you feel free from your condition and have a good quality of life.

Happiness

You will achieve happiness with the restoration of health through the Essential Health Pathway. We know that your condition can make you feel down or frustrated as you miss out on the activities or lifestyle that makes you happy. With our help, your health will be restored, and you will feel enjoyment in life again! You will get relieved from physical discomfort or pain, fostering a sense of comfort and happiness in life. You can enjoy a positive outlook for the future as your focus on life will be on creating better and happier memories rather than suffering from difficulty in movement or aches and pain.

In-Depth Assessment

1. IN-DEPTH ASSESSMENT

At Essential Health Physiotherapy, your concern is our priority. We are here to help you, and your session is all about you. All our clients are actively listened to and respectfully understood about their needs. Your voice will be heard as we listen to the history of your condition and how it impacts your life. We are extremely interested in talking about your story and yourself as a person! We want to find out how we can best help you and what our role in your rehabilitation is required to help you get better.

Once we understand you as a person, you are thoroughly assessed. We do not guess about your condition. We do a series of tests to ensure the right diagnosis is made and also exclude all other potential causes of your condition. This allows us to deliver a targeted treatment based on our examination findings. Your examination not only helps us to understand your condition better but also helps to exclude any potential serious pathology that would require further medical investigation.

Your goals are discussed in the session. This helps you and your therapist to be aligned with the purpose of the session and your rehabilitation. Discovery of your short-term and long-term goals can help us direct you towards your recovery in a speedy manner. We can be clear about what we need to achieve during your rehabilitation journey with us. This helps with our mission of delivering a highly individualised management plan to you.

2. MANAGEMENT PLAN

You and your Essential Health Pathway therapist would discuss how to manage your current condition best. You would be given treatment options according to the latest research evidence and best clinical practice. As your most personalised rehabilitation partner, you are always respected for your opinion in selecting a treatment pathway. Our role in the collaborative discussion is to ensure you are well-informed of options. This helps you to select the exact treatment pathway according to your preference.

Once treatment options are selected, your therapist helps structure your rehabilitation path (Essential Health Pathway). Consider us as a GPS to your recovery pathway, and your goal is your destination. While you are the driver of the body, formulating a structured plan can help you take the right, better and quicker path to get to your desired result and location.

During the formulation of your rehabilitation path, you will be given a specific timeframe for recovery and the steps required to address your current symptoms and concerns. We will even help you to formulate a plan to prevent the regular recurrence of your condition.

We deliver a detailed management plan via an extensive explanation within the first session. You would be given a written plan to help follow through your rehabilitation journey. This can ensure you can revisit the plan during the later rehabilitation phase. A written plan helps to facilitate the appropriate communication between you and your therapist to ensure no misunderstanding or miscommunication before the execution of the plan. Your plan also covers our communication with relevant health professionals, including your GP or specialist. This helps with the holistic management of your condition.

3. HOLISTIC TREATMENT APPROACH

We speak your language! Our treatment focuses on educating and empowering you to know more about your body. Your condition would be explained in lay’s terms. This helps to ensure that you understand the cause of your problem and what and why certain treatment is required. In some circumstances, you would be educated about what investigation or medical treatment is required to facilitate your recovery. We know that understanding your condition helps you get better faster.

You would be given a selection of exercise programs based on your examination findings. Examples of exercise include flexibility, strengthening, balance, and pilates exercise programs. As no one is the same, you will only receive exercises tailored to your needs and circumstances. Targeted exercises help you recover faster, recover better and recover stronger.

You would be promised to receive hands-on therapy when coming to Essential Health Physiotherapy. All of our therapists are equipped with high-quality, world-class manual therapy skills. You would be given a combination of hands-on treatment to assist with your function, symptomatic relief and recovery. You can be assured that the treatment received has been carefully selected to ensure that it is safe and right for you and your circumstances.
