Physiotherapy Services

A comprehensive assessment at your first visit is fundamental to devising a treatment plan that will meet your desired goals. Once the nature of your problem, as well as it's cause has been identified, it will be possible to determine the best means of treatment to suit you and your needs. It is important to understand that treatment is a partnership between you and your therapist, and the outcome of treatment is dependant on your input at all times. 

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession concerned with human function and movement and maximising potential. Chartered Physiotherapists are involved in a huge range of care.

 

 

Common complaints treated by Chartered Physiotherapists include:

• Spinal problems – including prolapsed discs, degeneration, sciatica, lumbago, stiff/painful neck and referred arm and leg pains
• Joint problems – arthritis, injury, pain and swelling, stiffness in joints
• Injuries – to muscles ligaments, cartilage and tendons. Work related conditions such as repetitive strain injury (RSI) and sports injuries
• After surgery – rehabilitation after orthopaedic surgery eg. hip and knee replacements or general physiotherapy after general surgery
• Fractures – treatment to increase the healing rate and gain full function once the bones have healed
• Neurological conditions – such as strokes, head injuries, nerve injuries, multiple sclerosis, shingles, cerebral palsy and ME
• Circulatory problems – such as Raynauds disease, wounds, ulcers and cardiac rehabilitation
• Scar tissue - as result of surgery or injury, e.g. breast lumpectomy or mastectomy scars, hysterectomy scars, scars from open wounds, etc.

At the Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Centre we will not only treat the problem, but by spending time with you, we will often be able to show you how to minimise the impact of the problem and to help prevent the problem from happening again.

Physiotherapists utilize a number of different techniques to provide relief from discomfort and improve quality of life. These include joint mobilisation, manual therapy, soft tissue manipulation, stretching, exercise programmes, electrotherapy (eg. ultrasound) and in some cases acupuncture / needling. Reassurance and education about a problem also gives a person the confidence to get back to normal activities quickly.
