WHAT IS PHYSIOTHERAPY? 

What is Physiotherapy? 
Physiotherapy is a science-based, health care profession concerned with restoring healthy movement and regaining full activity wherever possible.  
 
It plays a vital part in pain relief and healing.  
 
It can restore joint mobility, muscle flexibility, strength and coordination as well as core stability after injury or disease.  
 
These are the essential ingredients of a successful rehabilitation programme. 
 
Physiotherapists are trained to diagnose problems in the joints, nerves and soft tissues of the body, and will conduct a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan for your particular problem.  
 
We are committed to using the latest research and treatment methods to improve your condition. 
What does Treatment Involve? 
No system in the body acts alone. So, in order to maximise the benefits of physiotherapy we have adopted a holistic approach encompassing the treatment of muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves which includes: 
Manipulation 
Joint mobilization (a gentler form of manipulation) 
Soft tissue massage 
Acupuncture 
Ultrasound 
Muscle Biofeedback 
Flexibility exercises 
Pilates and core stability training 
Biomechanical analysis for orthotics 
Preventative education 
Ergonomic education
