Physiotherapy

The aim of physiotherapy is to alleviate pain and restore function so that patients can get back to living their lives the way they want to. Physiotherapy reduces inflammation, increases mobility and promotes strength.

What can you expect?

An appointment will usually last 30 – 45 minutes.

Appointments involve a thorough examination of the affected area to determine the root cause of the pain. If required, we use state of the art ultrasound scanning to confirm our diagnosis, and provide hands on treatment and personal advice so that patients can begin the best course of rehabilitation.

We aim to ensure a quick recovery, and to offer a tangible strategy that patients can implement so that their injury doesn’t reoccur.

Methods of treatment:

• Myofascial Release
• Dry Needling/IMS
• Acupuncture
• Electrotherapy, including Shockwave
• Cryotherapy
• Manual therapy (including massage and joint manipulation)
• Taping
• Range of movement and strengthening exercises

The conditions we treat include but are not limited to:

• Lower back pain
• Neck pain and Whiplash
• Sciatica/pinched nerve
• Tendon injury – including Achilles, rotator cuff, tennis and golfers elbow
• Sports injuries
• Runners knee
• Frozen Shoulder
• Osteoarthritis
• Post-operative rehabilitation
• Heel pain/Plantar fasciitis
• Muscle strains
• Fractures
• Ligament sprains

We ask that patients bring appropriate clothing to their session so that the therapist can assess easily (e.g. shorts, vest). We also ask that patients bring along any previous scans or reports if possible, as these may help diagnosis.

All our physiotherapists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP).

We aim to assign a Physiotherapist to you who specializes in your area of pain or dysfunction, however if you would like to see a particular physiotherapist, please don’t hesitate to ask.
