Physiotherapy

Do you have pain or stiffness that is causing you grief? Are you recovering from an injury or surgery?

Physiotherapy aims to cure injury, pain or dysfunction without medical intervention. It achieves this through a thorough assessment, and a carefully tailored programme of treatment, including advice, manual therapy and exercise, to address your symptoms and their root cause.

The assessment aims to diagnose your condition through understanding your symptoms and their root cause, and involves: 

• Consultation to understand the biopsychosocial factors associated with your condition.

• Posture and biomechanical assessment, including muscle power, flexibility and coordination.

• Assessment of the structural integrity of bones, joints, muscles and connective tissues (ligaments, tendons and myofascia).

Your programme of treatment, and number of sessions recommended, will be tailored to the outcome of your assessment and your personal goals. This will include:

• Clinical advice to manage symptoms, such as rest, ice, heat and elevation, as well as return to high-level activities such as work, sport or performance. 

• Manual therapy to release soft tissues, improve mobility and provide symptomatic relief.

• Strength and conditioning exercise prescription to restore biomechanics and function, reload and rehabilitate tissues.

We treat all musculoskeletal conditions including:

• Sports and running injuries

• Neck and back pain

• Shoulder, elbow and knee conditions

• Hand and foot conditions

• Sports and functional rehabilitation following orthopaedic surgery

• Reconditioning following general surgery
