What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with maximising human function and movement. We aim to restore normal movement allowing the affected tissue to reapir in a balanced and appropriate way.

A comprehensive initial assessment is necessary to ensure the most appropriate treatment is provided. The assessment may include observation of movement and posture, muscle strength, palpation, joint/soft tissue mobility and range of movement. Your Physiotherapist will then make a diagnosis and design a treatment program which is tailored to your individual needs.

A wide range of treatments are available, the techniques include but are not restricted to:

manual therapy exercise therapy acupuncture electrotherapy

posture re-education movement re-training electrotherapy massage

Preventative rehabilitation progammes , self-help and Pilates based exercises are also utilized.

The therapies are designed to be effective, individual and goal-orientated.

Physiotherapy aims not only to help the problem, but to prevent a recurrence. The benefits of physiotherapy are often prolonged through adherence to exercise and posture advice.

We stock a range of self help products to enhance your treatment and maintain its effectiveness.
