What is Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is the combined approach of soft tissue and joint mobilization and manipulation. This helps achieve total body rehabilitation following postural damage, sports and other forms of injury, with particular regard to prevention of future problems.

Physiotherapy assesses and treats a wide range of conditions including back pain, sciatica, sports injuries, whiplash, tennis elbow, joint problems, headaches, postural dysfunctions, muscular aches, neck pain and post surgical rehabilitation.

'Musculoskeletal pain syndromes are seldom caused by isolated precipitating events, but are the consequences of habitual imbalances in the movement system.' Sahrmann

Why Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy is unique in its complete assessment of the three important systems within the musculoskeletal problems. These are:

• Joints
• Muscles
• Nerves

Then it combines this into an integral treatment process, while our long-term goal is to prevent the chance of reoccurrence by patient education and understanding.

Our Physiotherapists

All physiotherapy treatment at the clinics is undertaken by Chartered and State Registered Physiotherapists. Please continue into the site to find out more information about our team of chartered physiotherapists.

Appointments

The initial consultation is 45 minutes. This gives time to clearly assess and diagnose the nature of the problem and the site of the structures involved. The diagnosis is then discussed with the patient for a thorough understanding of the cause of their symptoms.

Follow-up appointments are normally 30 minutes.

In addition to this we offer Workstation Assessments to assist with the curse that is sitting at a computer for long periods of the day in the modern world. Follow the link through to find out more on the assessment and how it may be able to help both yourself and your work collegues.

We are pleased to be able to offer a Screening Assessment, which is a new concept within physiotherapy aimed at prevention rather than cure. This works more along the lines of your yearly visit to the dentist, to pick up problems before they arise.

We also offer sports injury appointments which are 15 minutes long and are for the diagnosis of acute injuries, unfortunately they are not available for neck or back complaints. This is to offer early advice and intervention of recent problems and to confirm there is no serious underlying condition.

We will endeavor to find a treatment time that suits you. Home visits may be arranged.

Payment

These are payable at the time of consultation.
Claims can be made via all medical insurance companies. It is advisable to contact the company prior to commencing treatment to ascertain the necessary requirements as payment is ultimately the responsibility of the patient.
