What we treat
Physiotherapy is a medically recognized treatment which can help to overcome injuries and disease. It can help to promote and optimize the healing of muscular and skeletal injuries by identifying the cause, restoring normal painfree movement, and improving the body’s own natural healing mechanisms.
Injuries may result from sport, but can also be caused by gardening, housework, DIY, workplace and leisure activity stress and strains.

Physiotherapists have knowledge and expertise in the body’s movement and can identify problems affecting normal movement, treatment plans are then made to correct dysfunctions and advise on the long term rehabilitation and management of a problem.

Mobilisations of the joints and soft tissues, muscle imbalance and stability exercises, acupuncture may also be part of the rehabilitation programme, as is long term preventative guidance or problem management.
